Hands down worst movie I've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (27 May 2002)

When I walked out of the theater after seeing this movie, I was amazed that I had only lost two hours of my life. It had seemed like a whole lot more. I have to hand it to the movie, though, cause it does try to be all cryptic and philosophical like other "artsy" movies, but it is poorly executed. The whole thing comes off as some disastrous emotional roller-coaster, with the light, clear parts being slashed through suddenly and unexpectedly with the darker "mystery" parts. It's as if the movie is trying to play itself out with a normal linear plotline and only occasionaly decides to remind us that nope, it's actually an "artsy" movie and here, we'll prove that by being all depressing for a little bit... I would literally have walked out if not for the fact that my ride was actually, for some reason, *enjoying* the movie. The last half hour almost, MAYBE redeemed it in my eyes, but it seems too added-on. If the entire movie had been done with that lightly sci-fi flavor, then perhaps it would have worked. As is, though, the ending was just bizarre and unexpected. This movie has also creeped me out on Cameron Diaz for the rest of time.
