Left a lot unexplained

It took a while to see what was up to a degree, yet the why's were never fleshed out. It had a type of Matrix vibe with the mental conveyance to another timeline with different scenarios. And the copper coiled head dress and the magic mushroom concoction was unique and kind of hilarious.I felt that the actors characterizations were good for what they were given. Somewhat cheesy dialog for various characters and it did bog down several times after I had gotten a finger on where this was going, so it did become tedious. And the ending felt rushed and a jumble mess that left me with a "Is that it?" No answer to the whys, as in the Matrix, it was to gain an advantage in the fight against the machines. I did not see a reason why was any of this necessary.Too many unanswered questions with the added twist left me questioning, didn't the writers feel a need to give some background or validity factor to new participants in the story,5 out of 10.

Good idea for a film completely wasted

I just watched Parallax encouraged by reviews, both here and elsewhere, and I'm terribly dissappointed. Is this somekind of a guerilla marketing campaign with all those 9/10 reviews? The movie is based on an interesting collage of, let's say, a bunch of fuzzy reality ideas. None of them are actually original, I'll skip details to avoid spoilers but suffice to say we know them already from other films. However, if delivered properly this could have been a good experience nonetheless. Unfortunately this did not happen and the only good things I find in this film are the lead actress performance and music. Cinematography could also deserved praising if only they have not decided on reusing just a handful of identical shots almost in a repeating pattern. All actors' performance is bad (except for the lead one) and dialogs are unrealistic. The storyline is very slow, maybe even boring but that's not the problem, there are lots of movies that are probably too slow but overall turn out very good. The bad part here is that for the 3/4 of a movie it keeps the same slow pace and is generally consistent in it, only to suddenly change into some lower-then-B-grade student's action movie in the end. Did the screenwriter's dog ete their only copy of a script book a night before shooting and they had to improvise or something? Seriously, the director and the screewriter should consider career change - I believe it is the same person so that explains why we've got so many issues related to acting, dialogs and plot at once in this film.
