I have to say I am really surprised at the people who enjoyed this movie. The only reason I can think why is that like half the characters in this movie, they were high on psychotropic chemicals. But unlike the fictional ones that seem to experience highly bad trips, those of the IMDb seem to have taken drugs that make reality much better than it is.

The only good thing I can say about the movie is that it reminds of attempts from the 70s that tried to recreate the hallucinations experienced with all kinds of substances including traditional native American stuff.

Maybe I should have smoked something too before inserting the disc to the DVD player. On the other hand I haven't done for some time and I don't think enjoying this piece of crap worth the trouble.

More to the point, the story is needlessly hard to follow, the typical Jan Kounen pseudo-camera movement do not fit the subject (still a western like set), apart from the Michael Madsen character who is a complex environment-loving villain, none of the others are interesting, likable, well described or even well played. The story is not very interesting either and I'm pretty sure from the way it is handled that nobody on the set gave a s- about it. And don't get me started about the stupid and ugly CGI. It looks like what a 2nd semester computer science student would be able to do. And so childish.

Sorry if I seem a bit angry but I wasted 2 hours with this and I certainly had better things to do.
