initial expectations |
(3) The bizarreness of the trailers didn't really appeal to me. It was like watching some whack music video. I was expecting all special effects and no plot. |
(3) A trippy trailer combined with Jenny Lo... this movie's either going to be a complete hit...or a complete miss...no in between. |
pace |
(4) Pretty damn good. I got sucked into it all, I didn't notice time pass by. |
(4) When the story slowed, the visuals kicked in. When the visuals slowed, the story kicked in. Well, you get the idea. |
plot/story |
(4) Very original, captivating…and disturbing. It gets you to think just as much as it gets you to look. |
(4) Natural Born Killers, a dash of The Matrix, a dash of What Dreams May Come, and a pinch of the Pulp Fiction style, and you have a recipe for one engaging storyline. Fantasy films are usually cool because anything can happen, unlike reality based films which must conform to real life, and therefore worries about plausibility. |
cast/acting |
(3) With all the dazzling special effects, the actors almost get lost in the spectacle. Almost. Jennifer Lopez and company did decent jobs. |
(3) Okay. Nothing outstanding and nothing dull. |
good stuff |
(4) Watching the movie was a total trip. Awesome special effects, vivid, seductive, and unforgettable images…Your adrenaline pumps non-stop! |
(5) Sheesh, if the visual surreal images don't get ya, you must be psychologically damaged since you imagine the stuff all day already. :-P |
overall |
(4) Pretty damn good. Definitely worth seeing at full price. |
(4) I rate this at least as worth seeing at full price, because it's different. It's not like formulaic movies, and it's truly trippy. Watch it for something different. |
