Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Kirpianuscus a film about ambiguity of perceptions. about illusions. and about self definition. decent, provocative, dark. reasonable because it gives not more than you expect. a young man and his different lives. a bizarre past. and a sin who becomes more and more real. the past as a piece of clay. and the fight to be yourself, to preserve / discover the line between real and fiction. short, a must see for the fans of thrillers with few psychological nuances. or soft film from a genre who remains remarkable for few real great movies . for admirers of Ryan Philippe is a good option. for the interest of the relations between brothers a wise choice . short, a nice film.
Rodrigo Amaro This is like seeing a good runner giving his best efforts while running to later be stopped because someone out of the blue crosses his path causing him to lose the race or get in the second or third place. You feel bad for that kind of situation. Just like the runner "The I Inside" begins with lot of promise to later become uninteresting and dull, almost laughable at parts.It got me completely hooked at first but then little by little the lack of suspense prevented the movie from being nice to follow and the confusion towards the ending messed up the whole thing big time. It's fun to give it a shot at the life of a man (Ryan Phillippe) who after an accident wakes up from the coma, barely remembering anything, developing the strange ability to go back and forth between the space of two years. But he needs to fill the gaps in his mind: What really happened to him? Who are these people surrounding me? I'm married? Did I killed my brother? There's plenty of mystery to be solved before he loses his mind. And it gets better when he realizes his power to in between the years to change his past and his future (or maybe recollect his memories in another way). By the time you reach the ending "The I Inside" is no longer appealing. It had great potential but got lost somewhere. One of the writers was the same one who wrote the amazing "Identity" with John Cusack and a great cast involved in a mysterious and surprising plot with a twisted ending that haunts me for years. Sure, there's a huge plot twist in this too but it's so ineffective that only causes small reactions in the audience. Luckily, the cast doesn't disappoint and it's a miracle seeing Stephen Lang playing a good guy for once.All I can say is that "The Butterfly Effect" was way better than this. 4/10
Armand A film about the fight against the traps of past, the search of gestures sense and about the truth like puzzle. A story about the dreams, guilty and death. A strange travel in the days of a past who may be yours with the nuances of other person. The interpretation of Ryan Philippe is impressive. Powerful and subtle, it create the forms of fear and hope, touch of reality and rebirth of events. The subject is old and the science to build a new image of theme is impressive. Ambiguous and clear in same time, game and dramatic discover of yourself, bones of recollections and dreams in the cells of lost life, love as ridiculous fragments of lost pictures, a wife, a brother, a car accident, some words. And the rooms of a hospital, the details of ambiguous sin, the details and the faces in a huge mirror. The life as possibility. The rules of a sin. And the sleep in far year.
taclark I hated this movie, but I dislike a lot of movies that others seem to love--like A Beautiful Mind or the Usual Suspects. So if you loved those shows, read no further. I'm only posting this for the benefit of people with similar tastes, so they can avoid this one. At least A Beautiful Mind and the Usual Suspects had some entertainment value. This show has none. Only weirdness, and in a very annoying way.For me, a film has a duty to the viewer to be fair--to not resort to the cheapness of portraying a dream, delusion, or fantasy as reality. It's fine if the character doesn't know what's going on. It's even fine if the audience doesn't for a while, but I find it incredibly annoying to invest a couple of hours into a story only to find out in the end that it was all just a dream.This movie is very cheap in that way. You might like it if you're fifteen years old, don't care if a story makes any sense, and just like weirdness, but I hated. I sensed early on that this was one of those annoying movies that offered no clarity, so I fast forwarded and watched the ending. Well, the ending made no sense and so at that point I gave up on the show and came to IMDb. After reading the posts here and the tremendous amount of confusion this movie caused, I have no interest in watching it all the way through. This is one movie that should have never been made.
