Just so...so bad

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Fractalus is an intriguingly weird little 25-minute short about a near future where humanity seems to be aware of God's location in the universe. Scientific and religious teams try to reach it constantly, but none have succeeded due to a breakdown of time-space during the approach.It's not exactly a big-budget production, but makes excellent use of what it has, presenting quite a delicious little riddle that you can have lots of fun interpreting.It's a brain twister, though of the type where you can feel there's a more coherent intended plot, rather than a jumble of artsy symbolism (think "Donnie Darko", as opposed to "Blue Velvet"). There are also some interesting explanations to be found around online.

1 Star for the production values. 0 For the script/direction.Meaningless pseudo metaphysical clap trap dressed in sci-fi.Kind of reminds you of the metaphysical ending of Kubricks 2001.. but without anything worth while preceding, blended with Twightlight for gen Y sci-fi fans...Judging by the credits quite a bit of time money & effort went into this nonsense.Is it just a tech demo of what this company can do in order to sell themselves to prospective clients?A teaser for an forth coming feature film? I sincerely hope not.Maybe it was just a concept to pitch at test audiences. Pretty sure it was canned because of audience reaction if it was.
