... View MoreOK, I'm one of the ones "who got it" and I still "hate" this movie. The idea of urban explorers going into dangerous buildings was the original idea, but everything else...especially the ending was just "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" or "Vanilla Sky" all over again. The opening scene fooled me at first, because they said their death farewells (I thought the girl was going to die). Later, when the flashbacks and delusions began, I said to myself "oh no, the girl didn't die, the GUY did, in the opening scene." So I switched to another channel. After reading the reviews here, I realized I was right and glad I didn't sit thru anymore of the crap that was the rest of the movie. Fortunately for me, I read the short story "Owl Creek Bridge" many many years ago in high school, before I saw it on TV. I think they should have stayed with the extreme explorer idea.
... View Morei may have to watch it a few times to get it but ..other than trying to watch it during the dark tunnel scenes.. its pleasing to the eye and the dialog doesn't make me wanna puke and the music is great! I could actually feel dads grief. i am kinda confused about the ending but i am still trying to muddle thru realty and whatever was going on elsewhere.So all in all give this movie a chance.. maybe have a shot of tequila to keep you company and just enjoy the visual effects and the movie and maybe in a dream it will all come together for you. I did watch it on an HD 70 inch LCD so i think that helped a little and i paused it when i was confused.. which was quite a few times.
... View MoreWatch this if...you don't oppose excessive shaky camera work, blaring music every few minutes, questionable cinematography, and strange storytelling. Some may find this movie great, but I think they are in the minority.Acting/Casting: 5* - This is the one area of the film that I thought was average. The actors are second rate, but do an average job and don't stand out as being terrible. Nothing great, but just average work here.Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 2* - Let's not confuse good cinematography with cinematography that greatly takes away from the film. While some movies capture the chaos with their camera work and music, this movie just makes it aggravating. The flashback scenes are blared with white contrast to the point that it hurts your eyes and you can't see what is taking place. I can write a book about this category, but I will leave it as one word - UNFORTUNATE.Plot/Characters: 2* - The movie starts well and grabs your attention, but ends up taking you on a journey of ridiculousness. Prepare to be confused for a while and although some sense is made in the end, I wouldn't say that all of it is necessary or has relevance. An avid film watcher could tell you how this movie was going to end 2/3 of the way through, but only because that was the only thing that could marginally save the film.Entertainment Value: 3* - It starts well, but ends disappointing. There is a reason it has a 3.2 rating and it isn't because people "don't get it". Some do "get it" and just think it isn't very good.My Score: 5+2+2+3 = 12/4 = 3.0Email your thoughts to filmwatchinfool@gmail.com
... View MoreI can see why this movie flew over so many peoples heads. You have a lot of people that actually believe this film is about Urban Exploration and are mad that they didn't get it. Its about exploration alright, but if anything self exploration.I'll be the first to admit this movie does require the utmost attention or you will get lost quick. This isn't really a watch with friends type movie. It starts with some Urban Exploration and quickly morphs into strange dreamlike sequences. I am not going to spoil it so all I can say is if you have a really good attention span and like surreal horror/adventure movies then give it a shot.This movie also has a strong re-watchability factor. I have seen it 3 times and know there are frames and sequences I have missed.Excellent, one of the most underrated horror films I know of.
