Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Brilliant and touching

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

As someone who is doing a Ph.D. through a well-know university and a background in consciousness studies/psychology/quantum theories, this move is amazing. The write of the story definitely did their homework before writing the script. Although there are some aspects of the story which may 'bend' science, overall, it is pretty accurate and deep. I was really impressed by the use of theory in the movie, as well as the many metaphors/allusions to hint at/highlight theories. Personally, I liked the 'religious' tone to this movie as studying consciousness to this degree does often lead to, at least, a query of 'god'. For those who are saying the move is meaningless 'bait-and-switch', I would have to recommend really delving into currect scientific literature, not through pop magazines, but through actual peer-reviewed journal articles.

The trailer was really cool, made this seem like a sci-fi action movie with a really intriguing concept. The concept was intriguing but it was not sci-fi or action. The trailer was very misleading. It was mostly boring as dirt, and was very random. Movie was all over the place, plot was barely there, this SEEMED to have an anti-technology "science has gone too far!" theme but it was impossible to tell. Random bits were thrown all over, bad acting. This movie just sucked. Don't let the one positive review fool you, if you want a philosophy lecture or discussion of the brain and consciousness or whatever, watch a lecture, not this bad movie. A lecture would be far more interesting. I love a cerebral, complex even difficult movie but this wasn't that, just bad.

Sometimes when I start watching a movie like this that's not working for me at any level I wonder whether I'm being too harsh and critical in my assessment of it. However, I can see by the reviewers that have preceded me on this site that I am not alone.This film was just a convoluted mess of a movie, with an absolutely nonsensical script accompanied by very wooden acting. Why the fine actor Sam Neill is in this abomination is beyond me. Of course, presenting this turkey apparently wasn't enough for the filmmakers, they had to throw in some clips of animals seemingly being abused during experiments just for good measure.I know redbox isn't going to give me back my $1.59, but maybe I can help others to not spend their money on this dud.

Its funny, saying this movie is a waste of time in a way is a spoiler. the movie seemingly wants you to leave with that conclusion.Its one of those experiences where at the credits end, you look around wonder what went wrong.You look around the empty theater that has continued to be empty from the moment you arrived and realized you were the only one in a 45 mile radius to fall for this. You look on the screen after credits, and see some 'intense dude' with his 'futurey' cover of "grapevine" on repeat for 15 minutes.You think back to the entire process that lead you there: when you first heard about the hype, the possibilities, the purchase of the twenty dollar tickets, and the thrill of driving 45 minutes to Greenville to see the film. And you find yourself feeling goop-ed out of your time and energy. YouTube does what this movie does on the reg.
