Chaos theory applied to unrealistic plot

Rating: 2/10 (18 February 2005)

If you ever consider to rent this movie because of the rating on IMDb... Forget it ! In fact, if it's a joke, it's a bad one : poor acting, totally incoherent plot, imagination-less direction, anachronic costumes, stupid lighting, ... I can't figure out a single item of this film that could save it.
Acting: Does any of the characters involved have a convincing depth in his(her) role ? Where is the coherency ? Chaos theory applied to acting.
Plot: It's pretentiously intellectual and scientific but at no single moment it gives the beginning of an explanation of what the h..k is going on ! If you like to see an incoherent plot less movie, go for a David Lynch, you'll get great directing, sound and photography at least ! Direction: Do you remember the scene where Evan run in the gangway of the mental hospital ? Right, there is a shoulder camera that runs along with him. I nearly get the nausea at the camera movements.
Costumes: Have you seen how the kids are dressed when they go to see Se7en (1995)? I don't even remember wearing this kind of old-fashioned seventies clothes at their ages (It was in 1982...). And don't heat me up on the clothes Evan wears as a member of the fraternity... Yellow jacket & Green Shirt ! Ykes...
Script and photography : When you see for the 10th times the book and room 'travelling into time' special flickering effect, you just want to get out of the room.
As my friend say, I am sad to see that Hollywood producer manage to get a budget for this crappy movie and that Terry Gilliam can't fund his film on the life of Don Quixote with Johnny Depp and Jean Rochefort !
