Whoa...!

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2005)

I mean really, how can this drivel make it into the all time greatest top-40. I baffles me, stupefies me, that so many people really like this movie. Keanus acting was so terrible I felt like my mind was going to explode, while all the other actors moved about in such a pretentious solemn stupor that I just couldn't care for the characters they were supposed to represent. Excessive use of sunglasses, trench-coats and "revolutionary" stop motion action sequences just added to the pointlessness of the film. When the plot got so confused and muddled two thirds of the way through, the only solution is to bring out the big guns and have a mass gory bloody shoot-out, which completely offsets the amateurish philosophical babble at the start.
Like many others on this board that gave it a one, I tried to see the film a few more times to "get it" or whatever. No, sorry. This film stinks. There are so many better "alternate universe" films out there.
