Dude, Where's My Computer? The movie accomplished what it set out to accomplish. It was an experiment with narrative that infused the way we communicate and perceive into its plot. It felt a bit redundant, in a way I can't put my finger on, to see all that stuff upfront with the story, but I liked what Eugene said after the movie about the possibility of someone seeing the movie ten years from now and it not being so redundant to them. I saw it in a theater, which seemed backwards because I watch most movies that are meant for the big screen on my laptop, and this movie would have been the one movie that would have really made more sense to watch on my 13" screen. If not my laptop, I think the movie could also make more sense projected on some gallery wall. The story itself was repetitive, so viewing little fragments of it while walking through a gallery wouldn't hurt the concept or deprive the viewer of much. Overall the movie was great, considering its intentions, budget, and context.
