Negative Positive
Title: Pretentious and self-important
Review: I fell for all the rave reviews of this movie and sat through the whole thing. It makes me feel kind of sick that I will never get that hour and forty minutes back. I find it heinous that anyone would speak of this mess and of 2001: A Space Odyssey in the same sentence. This movie is very earnest, even overly so, as it beats the viewer over the head with its precious three-part allegory. It would be a noble experiment if not for the utterly inane third story. The movie's not too hard to understand, it just isn't worth the time. Completely overrated. Watch 2001 again instead.
Is the review positive or negative?
