Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Sarentrol Masterful Cinema
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Jamna Only after reading the reviews here , I came to the realization that this is no ordinary film . I wasn't even going to rate it let alone write a review , because I couldn't understand the ending , where did Jessica and Evan go , what happened to others etc etc This movie gives out a message so important , that we have lived our lives far too many times to be making the same mistakes over and over again . But we make them anyway . It's about reincarnation . Our faces change , bodies change , voices change , but our souls have remained the same since thousands of years and probably many more years than that , but we keep making the same mistakes every time . 😔 Because our memories are " erased " and don't know what we were and wrong we did in our previous lives . > All the memories of the previous journeys are gone , all erased . No matter how beautiful or bad the journeys were , we have to start from the beginning , so if you don't wanna start afresh and just want the cycle of life and death to end right here , start to act better , try to clean your heart of all the dirt , start loving with a more open heart , realize the power of 'pure love' . > As Rob Broekhof has written above , in user reviews , in such a marvellous sentence saying "Still, when you finally realize your lesson in life, take that chance! ". So " when you FINALLY come across the lesson of your life , learn the lesson , take the chance to improve yourself " , "Remember! these can be the little things in your daily life , after all , trying to be a better person is a life long learning process " that is what life is really about , TO KEEP IMPROVING OURSELVES , KEEP BETTERING OURSELVES AS HUMAN BEINGS . Changing our attitude , being nicer is the KEY 😊 💖So the souls around you , your destiny , will MAKE YOU DO THE RIGHT THING EVENTUALLY , THEY WILL KEEP PUSHING YOU , THEY WILL KEEP GUIDING YOU , THEY WILL MAKE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH ,THEY WILL MAKE YOU DO THE RIGHT THING , NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU RUN AWAY FROM THEM , NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU RUN AWAY FROM YOUR DESTINY , THEY WILL KEEP MAKING YOU DO THE RIGHT THING UNTIL YOU BREAK THE CIRCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH AND ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT. BEAUTIFUL , JUST BEAUTIFUL 💖 Many people have written such good reviews that I don't feel like adding new points . I agree to other users , that it's a loop , " what goes around , comes around " .Probably she was supposed to die with her brother , that her fear was real , that both of them will die by drowning because her brother was heavier for her to pull out of the water . But she saved herself and let him drown . Now she was given the second chance that she had always asked for . She got a second chance not once but thousands of time , but kept repeating the same behaviour , the same mistake , having an erased memory of the previous events , she kept leaving Evan to die at the end and all the other souls were stuck like that with her in that building , because the cycle continued because of her " failed attempt " . Everyone remembered the previous events , but Jessica . Finally she did what was right , she did not leave Evan's side and died with him in the fire . SHE BROKE THE CYCLE , FINALLY!!!!! The other souls finally heaved a sign of relief 😊 There might be problems in execution , production , acting and other things of the film , but the concept and the story were superb! :) The message was beautiful . ➡Wish it had a more clear ending , like what happened to Evan and Jessica 💖 finally and what will now become of the other people in the building . >Again , I thank the reviewers who took time to write their thoughts down , you made me understand things better :) , you made me see things better :) , you made me realize an important lesson in life , no matter how far and how fast I run away from my destiny , it's coming towards me to get me with an even greater speed .>WHAT'S MEANT TO BE , WILL BE . IT WILL FIND IT'S WAY .> WE CAN'T RUSH IT , OR RUN AWAY FROM IT . It's a nice film .
BakuryuuTyranno The film originally seemed interesting but by the finale I started thinking perhaps there was no point.I like when films don't feel they must spoon-feed the audience information about what's happening. People are generally reasonably smart and movies claiming to be smarter often end up insufferable.However this movie was different. It didn't shove information up the audience's nose, but as the credits rolled it seemed as though the movie existed simply to appear intelligent without actually being intelligent. I'm not sure even the people who wrote this knew/decided what the story was. I only know its nothing I'd watch again
RickHarvey This is one of those films that foreshadows the upcoming disastrous events and i write this put of context with the film. Instead, the disastrous events are the damage to the brain caused from this shallow, pathetically acted film. There some films that are bad but still hold up some positive notes but with this one, you wish you never watched it at all.Acting is poor, the characters are empty, the story is obvious with some cringeworthy dialogue pushing it on it way. The only saving grace is Ed whom, despite his sweet corn anecdote, he was fairly good in his role.Guaranteed, there will be many unintentional laughs. The wardrobe collapsing at the end, the lesbians, Jessica's leg catching fire. Many laughs are to be enjoyed.At the end of the film, it makes you think, What were the other six doing in this eternal loop of hell? Why are they involved? All i can say is don't watch this film.
dbborroughs Web serial tale of a girl who moves into a building where strange things begin to happen and people begin to die as everything seems to be recorded. Its patentedly weird for weird's sake with the building managers office in an elevator and a weird assortment of characters that exist only in films.This may have worked as a series of five minute parts on line had someone decided to make this have some connection to reality they didn't, they just tried to go from pillar to post to try and keep you interested but it never really worked and I found I was fighting to see it through to the end in the hope it would mean something. Now comes the prospect of seeing this as a full fledged feature film (Paramount is releasing it to DVD) which means this is going to be a very stupid movie. I made it to the end and wondered why I bothered since none of it made any sense even internally. It was a very big waste of time.
