Not Bad At All, But You Have to Pay Attention.

This is a very depressing movie the music is depressing, the story is deoressing, even the gloomy grayness of the film overall makes it even more depressing,, but it isn't incoherent or as badly written as others are saying. There is actually a really good reason for the odd narrative structure, and it all ties together, if you are paying attention. If you have a short attention span, or are unwilling to take the time to sit down and watch this, do not bother. While the twist and turns may not be entirely unpredictable, they make sense and are not a series of random events, to say more than that will ruin the film.This is a well-made low-budget drama with sci-fi elements about trauma and how people cope with the bad things going on in their life. The acting is well-done, the cinematography is good, though some may dislike the intentionally unsteady camera work in the moments between Ethan and his father, and some of the more dramatic moments, but it nis clearly a stylistic choice, as there are plenty of moments where the camera is steady. The lighting is well-done, it isn't afraid to use darkness, and the usage of closeups is a good choice that makes things feel more claustrophobic. The music is well-done, though at times, slightly over-melodramatic. The acting is good on the whole and the acting playing Ethan does a decent job of playing a fairly difficult role. Overall, the script just might be too obtuse for it's own good, seems to be missing a few details, and will go over the average movie goers head, but this is not a 3 star movie, not even close, it deserves a 6 at least.Not a fantastic movie, but deliberately made, and the direction is very solid, there is no reason whatsoever for the hate it has gotten. It's just probably a little to obtuse, out of order, depressing, and melodramatic for most.

For Mature Audience

This movie really requires a mature audience. Not for teens & 20's who lack maturity or patience as you can see by their reviews.Admittedly, this movie is somewhat confusing and you only half understand it at the end. But the story has merit and it is not predictable other than the character has had a brain implant. That much you can determine by the name of the film & the box cover photo.What is not predictable & why it is confusing is the technical reason behind what is going on. And following what is reality. This is where patience & a mature understanding is required. The screenplay & dialogue is missing too much to fill in all the gaps. So it will leave you confused to some degree but not as bad as these children's reviews describe. They want shoot-em-up, fast gratification films with no substance. The concept is a good one. It just shows how important the choice of screenwriter can be and a director who can recognize problems.It will probably require a second viewing since this is a wrap around movie where the beginning is the end.
