Esoteric Patchwork

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2007)

The Bible, love, death, the stars, and ...-no, I said no spoilers. Imagine all of these elements in one movie, what do you expect? I read comparisons with 2001 before, but what I saw reminded me rather of "What dreams may come". Say, "What dreams may come" directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I also learned the director spent six years to complete this film. In this time one should come up with something fresh and new. Others say he did. I second-guessed almost every line, almost every cut, every dolly back. Like a hundred minutes pop video, stuffed with inappropriate references to Maya culture, oncology, inquisition an so on. As a cinematic effort, it's nothing. I was looking forward to see "Flicker" (one of the best thrillers about movies). Now I know this director will ruin it. What a pity.
