This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Excellent, a Must See

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a fish? This movie is an experiment that does that. Humanity is infected with a virus that destroys memory. Different people have mild to severe memory loss. One character forgot who he was talking to and had to rediscover the little girlboy he just met.I couldn't finish this film. It was about as annoying as "Rubber". I had my doubts when that guy gadded about with the umbrella. The lady living in the house with all the toys was to much. She had cereal of Sweet Tarts for breakfast! It was to much. Nothing was happening. I know that was the point of the film. This is not a movie. It is a social experiment about fish people. They all have attention spans of about 7 seconds. I can't recommend this movie to anyone but hipsters that want to watch an anti-movie.

I was intrigued when I originally saw the premise of a culture with no memories, and hopeful when I saw a 5.2 rating on IMDb. Then I saw this exercise in futility. How can a person who has no memories have language? How would they know that they are hungry, what food is, and how to acquire it? How would one be able to read instructions, or anything else? How would the ladies show up with shaved pits? I had to turn it off after 30 minutes, because the consistent lapses in logic were just too frustrating. I'm surprised this was rated as high as it was. Yuck. Were that I were a character in this film, and able to forget I saw it.

Took me a while to figure out how to rate this thing, which is always a good high gauge on my barometer of film excellence. Many reviews wanted this to go somewhere. But the complete absence of memory in stark reality, says you wont, because you wont remember where to go. And for those who still have memory, is it worth having if you are isolated? And if you have intelligence, how do you fight this plague? It also gives a stark look at the ID. Who are we without memory, when all we have left, is our basic nature? I have seen many memory loss movies, but this is by far the best. The acting is superlative, on all fronts. Just like any film buff, I like a good conclusion. But I was happy with this negative one, because of the very nature of the subject matter. In this case, the beginning was the ending, and well, visa versa.

The characters in this film pull you into their world from the first minutes. Even while the premise is being developed, I was curious as to where they all will travel - physically, mentally, emotionally. The scenes are beautifully shot and the settings are stark and dramatic. Just when you think the characters are finding themselves and each other, and perhaps recovering from their circumstance, they are back again at their personal ground zero. I would like to know more, e.g., where the bunker family is getting their food, but that's for the viewer's imagination to resolve. The concluding scene was powerful - will we be seeing a sequel?
