Just saw this on the IFC.
This movie is like a bad drug: It looks good at the beginning, and sucks you in. the more you watch, the less you get. By the end you realize that you got
absolutely nothing at all from it, except a strange experience that you would have been better off without.
What a laughable waste of time. The movie basically has nothing to say, and
stretches what could have been an interesting 12 minutes of information and
photos into a long, drawn out waste of time.
the soundtrack is like a REALLY bad German opera (but in English.) All sorts of loud noises, musical exclamation points, choirs singing in oh-so-serious tones, saying the same thing over and over and over.....
As the first reviewer said, there is no plot. None. No message, no point. Are these three technologies bad? Evil? Necessary but dangerous? Who knows?
Who cares? Certainly not this film nor its makers.
By the end, you won't care either (if you make it to the end.) You'll just be glad we have the technology of a remote-control that can conveniently change
channels.
If you start watching this, and think it's visually intriguing, though slow moving, and that it will likely get better any minute... Forget it. It never does.
You know those crazy people who stand in the middle of Times Square,
preaching that the end of the world is near? Well, watching this movie is pretty much like watching one of those crazy people, shouting the same thing over
and over, for 90 minutes.
