Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Gordon-11 This film is about a group of tourists getting involved in each other's lives in a sleazy and dodgy Bangkok hotel.This film is told in a non linear way. It has intersecting plots involving several characters, and these are all executed and mixed together seamlessly. The characters are developed very well, and the viewers can relate to them easily.The plot is excellent, full of suspense and thrill. It shows that how one little action of a person can have profound effect on another person! It kept on the edge throughout the movie! The cinematography is also excellent.Another film that has intersecting plots mixed together in a non linear way is the Oscar wining Crash. I think, this film is in many ways equally good, if not superior to Crash. It is a great pity that this film does not have wider recognition than it currently has.
Banzaemon If you've just rented the tesseract and are thinking "man oh man, I hope this is a irritatingly jumpy story, full of dislikable characters and shot in the style of a horrible music video" then guess what bub...this could be the best day of your life. Memento - an intelligent script that, despite being initially difficult is soon understood and fun to think about afterward. The Tesseract - someone throws the script into the ceiling fan and films it in the order the pages happen to land. Redeeming features? The annoying kid gets hurt, which I didn't think would happen. Oh, oh, and there's a thai midget, something you don't see every day. Unless you look in grandpa Charlie's 'special' magazine collection. see yas
Michel_spain At the beginning of the film one can read:"The Tesseract is a hypercube unraveled." "When a square unravels to a live, two dimensions become one." "When a cube unravels to a cross, three dimensions become two." "When a hypercube unravels to the tesseract, four dimensions become three."In fact the tesseract is a 4 dimensional cube (term by Charles Howard Hinton, mathematician and science fiction writer) and this concept tries to introduce us into more than three dimensions.This movie is a strange mixture of Matrix (special effects), Kill Bill (slow camera scenes with Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" style) and Memento (playing with time, backward and forward). Four strange and different characters reunited in a hotel of Bangkok with nothing in common. Really nothing in common? The first minutes promise an excellent film that does not convince in any moment. It's a pity, could have been magnificent.
w00f Take "Memento," throw in a little "Oliver Twist," add a little "Taxi Driver," and then have the whole thing directed and edited by severally mentally deranged gerbils on crack and you get this completely awful film.At turns boring, overly bloody, and completely incomprehensible, it's got neither good style nor solid substance. The ending is terrible. The middle is even worse.Pass this one up... until you happen to be a mentally deranged gerbil on crack. Then it might be worth watching.I have to add two more lines of type to meet IMDb's requirements for writing a long-enough review. That's too bad, because there really isn't anything else to say about this lousy movie. Ummmm... so, how are you today? How's the family dog? w00f w00f w00f.
