Pretentious and bad, oh my God!
This is one of the most disappointing movies I've seen in some time. With A Scanner Darkly being one of my favorites of all time, this was a serious fucking letdown in comparison--- it's scene after scene of banal podcast-esque drone-on conversations that just come one after another, paired with some impressive visuals but more-often-than-not, just some dumb shit in the background ("oooh he said 'brain' and now the treetops outside look like brains,…
An incredible, quiet, contemplative movie that I really, really wish was about 3 minutes shorter. If you've seen it, you know --- an ending I've watched many times now and still haven't worked out what the intention was.

This film did everything it wanted to, masterfully. Did I like it? Not....entirely. Would I watch it again? Probably not, unless some sadistic uninitiated friend insists. But damn if the plot doesn't effectively draw you in juuuuuuust enough before absolutely barraging you with a sweet unholy pigfuck of a climax.
Watch on a big screen! Watch with friends! Watch very, very stoned!
