Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

shoobe01-1 ...but too painful to watch for me to care. Not because it's a bit B-movie cheap, or has poor VFX, or some of the actors sorta suck, or the overbearing made-for-SyFy movie music, but because it is just terrible. The main key thing to me is the total lack of reasonable storytelling. Every time something should be getting on with the story, a character stops to explain something about the plot to another character, or a news story explains it for us, or a full on and unashamed voice-over does it!

Justin Steiger It was hard to watch the entire movie (I did though), but holy cow what a messy plot, poor special effects and the main actors relationship felt forced.It may have just been over the top artsy (I like artsy usually) but between the scattered plot (if there really was one) and the over acted leading man, I just couldn't get into it. Sure the subject (over advertising) was clear, but it was difficult to follow along since it was all over the place.Leelee was beautiful though; she's got some good facial expressions in there (but their kid; wtf was that all about, where'd he come from and what was the point of showing him if you can't get to know him).If you intend on watching this one; grab a drink (and by drink I mean a strong one) and try to keep up or stay awake; it's rough.

hazysistersunshine33 This is going to be a tough one to review because I'm not sure if I completely understand it and that doesn't happen to often with me, so you know it has to be pretty complicated. It very artsy fartsy and there are a lot of messages going on in it and they don't give them to you on a silver platter. You will have to concentrate on this one and even then, good luck. It's about an advertising executive that goes way too far to sell products. It's about consumerism and how it has become an integral part of our culture. It also seems to infuse a little bit a supernatural aspects to it in the form of a ritual performed by the advertising agent where he slaughters bull. It has these cute and weird looking creatures coming out of people's bodies that look like they would be designed by a Japanese or Animae company almost. These creatures swayed you to do things for instant gratification like eating a ton of fast food and getting fat. So there is also a statement about obesity in our society. The movie makes a lot of good points and I appreciate what it's trying so say and it certainly does have a style all its own. It's not imitative of anything I've ever seen which makes it a little difficult to wrap my brain around it. My brain almost hurts trying to decipher it. I just wish it was a bit more accessible. I love the visuals. They are really funky. The only two people I recognize in it are Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor and Max von Sydow, so it's a pretty good cast and they all do a good job. Check it out if you want a mind bending experience.

Roman Narusevich The movie describes the destruction of the World by greedy corporations as they battle between themselves over the minds of the people, using any dirty tricks to manipulate us into "slavery" and "worship" of the brands they advertise. The movie is trying to portray ordinary men as stupid animals, a flock of sheep, unable to think and reason, blindly following every advertisement they are shown on TV. In the end, the "good" Governments step in and "shield" the masses with regulation prohibiting advertising and branding at all. Then finally tranquility rests upon the World... The movie uses very graphic imaging to draw the evil of branding by private enterprises and suggests that only Governments should be allowed to engage into advertisement, using Soviet Union as an example... Truly a brilliant piece of Communist propaganda!
