Surprisingly incoherent and boring
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

... View MoreFirst of all wanna say amazing movie.. really incredibly visceral.. but for anyone confused this is what I gathered :P The universe is in flux. It expands, then contracts, replaying and recreating events over and over again. However, certain events can be changed, and depending on the choices Nemo makes his life will turn out different ways. The major turning point in his life being his decision to either go with his mother or his father at age nine, which is why in the end he says its all in the mind of a nine year old boy. He knows the choice he has to make and the myriad of possibilities it could lead to. In a way he's God of his own world at that moment.But how does this happen? Think back to.when as a child he describes the place where babies are made. Before sent out into the world you know everything, but your mind is erased at birth. His never was, which is why he can predict the future at certain points in the film, why as an old man he remembers his life different ways.In the end, when everything is reversing thats the universe contracting, resetting everything to be done again. The universe contracts at the exact moment of Old Nemo's death. Since he's lived it multiple times he remembers it and it features in the science fiction story he writes.As to how he ends up with Anna, the universe is in a perpetual state of fluctuation, repeating itself forever. Depending on the decisions he makes sometimes he ends up with her, sometimes he doesnt. What we saw was the result of a time when he ended up with her.
... View MoreMr. Nobody is a movie " sci-fi" which I think is not intended to be a sci-fi movie. Well , the film is directed by Jaco van Dormael , a Belgian director who is actually (just like Richard Kelly, director Donnie Darko), in my opinion, can always release a " one-hit wonder". In addition, the film is also filled by a unique cast-full of variations and as if random; starting from the 30 Seconds to Mars vocalist Jared Leto, who desperately deserve the main role as Nemo Nobody, and Diane Kruger as Anna, her true love Nemo,. Judging from the cast- it is somewhat random, but apparently there is a purpose behind it all. Nemo narrates a voyage through several permutations of his life, following alternate paths. He chooses to grow up with each of his divorcing parents (Natasha Little and Rhys Ifans); has three separate and mutually canceling lifelong romances (Juno Temple grows into Diane Kruger; Clare Stone becomes Sarah Polley; Audrey Giacomini becomes Linh Dam Pham); and experiences various brushes with death. As if the Cloud Atlas-level juggling act weren't enough, Belgian writer-director Jaco Van Dormael throws in a hypnosis conceit and, courtesy of Nemo's sometime work as a writer, fiction within the fiction. In one iteration, Nemo appears as a TV scientist who lectures on string theory and entropy. The character's name alludes to both Jules Verne and The Odyssey, but Mr. Nobody's expansive literary ambitions turn out to have a powerful ordering principle: sentimentality.Well, in outline, Mr. Nobody actually tells about probability and parallel timeline . Wait! The outline was withdrawn by ignoring the final conclusion of the film. The plot in this movie actually does not start at the beginning of the movie, but after entering the teenage. It is said that Nemo Nobody's life was filled with choices, even since he was still not born. Because of " Butterfly Effect" , Nemo was finally born in all choices and probabilities. Nemo himself said, " It's hard to choose, " but eventually he came to his own conclusion, "As long as you do not choose, everything remains possible. "It's a "must see" film for every film lover. Especially the smart ones.
... View More"Mr. Nobody" - well, the title is admittedly a little strange, but this movie will appeal to the more open-minded moviegoer, in the first place. This is by far the best film (yes, a piece like this is definitely more than just a movie) I've seen in a long while. It might not be officially classified as an epic, but I personally would disagree. "Mr. Nobody" has all the hallmarks of a wonderful film wrapped in a unique package, and yet, it's extremely hard to explain basic plot lines in this story. Therefore, I will go big picture, and just say this: "Mr. Nobody" is about life, and time, and all the choices we make, or don't make. Broad? You bet. But it's the only way to properly discuss this film (which also features a great and eclectic soundtrack).In short, I would say that this is a bit of a mashup between "Okja", and the early work of Tim Burton (circa Edward Scissorhands, 1990), but the ideas and concepts it explores are all its own. The colors are vivid, the cinematography is well done, and the character development (though there are many characters and plotlines, included in a mostly non-linear fashion) is absolutely spot-on. Honestly, I don't know if I've ever watched a more original film. I do recommend, however, the following tips when watching:*This is a film that truly deserves your attention. Keep the distractions to a minimum for the best experience (even though you'll want to watch it over again once you finish) *Watch this with at least one person, if possible. This is literally the best movie I've watched so far this year. I only turned it off about 15 minutes ago and I have the urge to turn it back on, AND recommend it to everyone I know. (Including you, IMDB people! :) Seriously, you won't be sorry.
... View MoreToo much of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Vanilla Sky, too much of science for the masses, too much of jumping for one time to another, too much length of actions, actuallly too much of everything, except Jared Leto. Nothing is too much when's with Jared Leto.
