Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

estebanlopezlimon A more skilled director and writer could have presented the exact same ideas with a more comprehensible and interesting plot and without all the LSD involved. However, our friend Terry decides to camouflage the simplicity of the real message with a psychedelic atmosphere and bizarre characters. The audience is persuaded by this overdose of visual stimulation into thinking that the meaning is more complex than they thought, erroneously increasing the intellectual value of the film.

sandocan-95412 This was a very good film.Christoph Waltz played his part as the lonely, territorial man with a higher level intelligence. As the film brings you sadness and as you watch this film you feel caught in the moment. As you imagine your self like his character. but this is also a tragedy, as I cried for the first time watching it. This is by far the best of Terry Gillian. Although, I showed this to my self assured 14 year old and she thought it was inappropriate. So I recommend this for an edgier crowd with maturity and sense. But it takes a few good watches of the film to understand the last twenty minutes of the film. I would watch it again but be cautious as it is not for the light heart ed.

amitkgupta28 It was my first Terry Gillan movie and I was blown away by his way of materializing such inextricable ideas. It's a wonderful combination of script and direction. It is set in a dystopian, ultra consumeristic world which provide a good framework for self-reflection for an individual and society in general.The dialogs of main characters are structured in such a way that it appears as if he speaking for all human race rather than for himself. Also, the writer wittingly made him refer himself as "We", which automatically make viewer of the movie take position of the character itself. Few of his dialogs like "We are always alone" ( which was actually meant I am always alone ) are able to deeply hit the viewer. What a brilliant way to engage the audiences.A wonderful movie to watch if you have ever been in the labyrinth of those deeper, disturbing questions.

Dennis Littrell There is a zero theorem in math but it has nothing to do with the zero theorem of this movie. Here the zero theorem is an idea that leads to the end of the universe via a black whole gobbling everything up. I believe. At any rate the science here is just window dressing. What counts is the ever quirky sets and wandering story line made entertaining by some fine acting and surprising twists and revelations in the inimitable Terry Gilliam style.I was particularly mesmerized by Mélanie Thierry who plays Bainsley, a stylish hooker with a hankering for older men (QED). She is after partially mad scientist Oohen Leth played with a steely estrangement by Christoph Waltz. I also liked Lucas Hedges' Bob who slyly wisecracks his way amid the clutter and chaos. Yes, the infamous Terry Gilliam clutter is in full evidence, white pigeons, screens on their sides, clashing art work on the walls, dark staircases, weird people, electric (?) cables the size of fire hoses, rats, bizarre costumes and much, much more. And of course the thousand and one sight gags. The one I liked best (and we see it two or three times) comes to us through Oohen Leth's computer screen. It's a certain kind of Website displaying Mélanie Thierry with a strategically placed heart-shaped sign reading "Enter Here." (You have to see it to get the joke or have a saucy imagination.) Matt Damon has a cameo as "Management," "Bob's" all powerful father. Yes, there are some corporate jokes throughout as well as science gone amuck hilarity or attempted hilarity. I think this is one of Gilliam's best but it is the performances by the actors that really carry this and perhaps that's a good thing in a Terry Gilliam movie.--Dennis Littrell, author of the movie review book, "Cut to the Chaise Lounge or I can't Believe I Swallowed the Remote"
