Blasted by the critics as pretentious drivel. I got sneak peek passes to this last Thursday. I really enjoyed it. The visuals were stunning, and the story was intriguing. It reminded me of Mulholland Dr. where during the film, you are trying to figure out what is going on, and then at the end, you are scrambling trying to decide what really happened.

Anybody else think this looks interesting? If anybody has seen it, I'd like to know your theories.

I saw it the other night and I liked it. At some points in the movie I thought it was going to turn into a fight club/multiple personality twist movie, but I like the way it was handled. I enjoyed how it would keep you guessing, but about half way through I had it figured out, and wasn't exactly desperate to see what happened next.

My theory, which I'm pretty sure is right: Spoiler: People say that right before you die your life flashes before your eyes. So he was replaying his life in his head, but the people on the outside trying to help him were replacing the people who were actually in his past. Well, his past and a lot extra... Overall though, I liked it.

Spoiler: Yeah, that's pretty accurate. Another way of thinking is that it's a combination of his 'life flashing' and the reality of the last few minutes of life. Two interesting things I liked, 1. As he had basically decided he was going to die, the film got a lot more tough on the doctor (the person trying to save him). and 2. The twins and triplets who make up a lot of the extras in the film are reminiscent of double and triple vision accompanying head wounds. Thanks for the comments.
