Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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

What is a shoestring by the way? Is it what we call a shoelace in the UK?This is a charming and mesmeric movie. Critics bemoan the quality of the acting. But I think it is deliberately detached and off-beam, as is the choreography of the fight scenes which at times are almost comical, like TV Batman.All this adds to the naivety of this film and as you continue watching its battle between good and evil, complacency and commitment, it somehow gets under your skin and wins you over.

Tedious from the start , descending into pretentious art school project drivel . Might have made a half decent 30 minute TV show.
Really - don't bother .

I was blown away. And I don't get blown away a lot. According to this storyline, there exists multiple universes, one verse there is humankind, in another verse, kinda like the other side, after we die, where our souls exist, there is the ones, supernatural beings, who control the first universe. They intertwine, and help to control the previous universe. Two factions divide the control, one who create positive dreams and one who create nightmares. They are at a constant conflict. Sorta good versus evil scenario. There's an underlining story about a man who is dealing with his own situation in this world. He's lost many things, mainly his real world life, and he comes to terms with it and gets his focus back eventually. Anyway, this film was well done and must see. I got choked up at the end.

Definitely different from anything I have seen before. I have the feeling that there is more than Cinema behind this. It feels like some kind of shamanistic art. It has got a kind of positivity which is not emotionally naive, not new age, not rhetorical or superficial, not moral or religious. It is a deeper kind of positivity, and it is brought into a visually fascinating movie with a good script, good acting, and a pleasant soundtrack. You just have to be prepared to a different experience than what you get every day from Hollywood. Although this is not a complicated intellectual movie, and it does not feel heavy at all, it may require a little more commitment than a popcorn movie or a easy going no-think "feel good" movie.
