AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

hoytyhoyty Actually I'd give it about 3 stars just for the visuals and the free porn - the naked girls actually have some meat on them.The corridors and computer gear, and the opening (drums fingers...) were quite nice.But in all other respects, this film partakes of enormous, greasy donkey testicles.It just drags on and on, in the dark, introduces more and more 'mysterious' fluff, stretches time out infinitely (when is his deadline due again??), tries our patience, tries to keep us interested by bribing us with soft porn, and thinks it's ooooooo so clever and, in that respect, is ooooooo so incorrect.Let's get the P word out, this is a time to use it: Pretentious. This movie is pretentious crap.I got half way through (Yes, you are correct, I've not watched it to the end and probably never will - nevertheless, from reading, looks like I managed to guess correctly what it was. Gee, must be smart, hey? Or - was this movie just dumb?) and thought "It must be coming to some kind of nexus-point about now, yeah?" I checked where the DVD was up to and, my gods, IT WAS ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH.As the other 'guess what' reviewer, from Germany, states, there is a reason you've never heard of this film.It's because it's a piece of w*nky, slow, boring, art-house pseudo-meaningful, UN-clever crap.

act_of_bob I always find these forays into low budget film-making initially fascinating. They always draw me into the story and then lead me a merry dance. With One Point 0 however I'm convincing myself this is Angel Heart, and what Phiam is seeing is only the inverted version of reality. Stylised shots of spiralling staircases, dark and shadowy corridors and a bleak and depressing dystopia all enforce the parody. And as much as Harry Angel must move from person to person to piece the puzzle of the case, so must Phiam move from room to room to piece together the mystery of the packages.The problem is, the moving around seeking answers from the unknown has already been done much more skilfully, such as Aaronovich's Pi or Natali's Cube. In many instances the poorer relations soon begin to lose the plot as the directors struggle to stretch out the feature- lengthiness; such as a pointless sexual encounter. Where Channel 4 succeeded in presenting new directors or intriguing screenplay is they allowed the director immense freedom, admittedly on very little budget, but the film ran to its natural length, without obstacles complicating the film's horizon. There is far too much in this film that is unnecessary and much that is unexplained. But I suppose the directors were more concerned about producing a feature film rather than a lasting impression.

sayhitowarren I just finished watching Paranoia 1.0. While this film is not going on my list of all time favorite films, I did find it very entertaining. The filmmakers have nothing to be ashamed of. I was particularly struck by the similarities between this film and Orson Welles' 1962 film of Kafka's The Trial (Le Procès). The Romanian locations do for Paranoia some of what the Yugoslavian locations did for the Trial. Paranoia gives a cyberpunk angle on the Kafkaesque theme of the internalization of social structure, particularly the mentality of consumerism. Although Kafka did not explicitly address consumerism, I think he might if he was alive and writing in the 21st century. The sub-themes of sexual guilt and infection are very much from Kafka. And the police are especially Kafkaesque. I also detected the influence of David Cronenberg, especially his media-related films Videodrome and eXistenZ. I think there was also a little bit of Kubrick influence. I saw this in the neighbor's AI project which sort of a existential, postmodern, frankensteinian, Edvard Munchian version of 2001's Hal and AI's David. He goes "Aaahhhhh ..." You might say the same thing after watching this movie, especially if literary/philosophical sci fi/fantasy is not your bag.

Brandy I think this is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I kept watching waiting for a plot, my husband and I both missed a possible plot. So many things are left unanswered!! I feel like I just woke up from a bad dream and now I'll spend the rest of my evening confused and trying to figure it out. I don't even know if I can tell you what the movie was about I'm so confused but I'll tell you what I know. This guy is in this apartment building where no one acts normal at all. The neighbors are strange, and even the guy at the grocery store is strange. He pays high prices for small items at the grocery store....which is odd, who pays 90 bucks for a gallon of milk? He is trying to figure out what is going on around him and then comes this pretty lame explanation and a very strange ending to the movie. As you are still waiting for them to answer so many questions that have been brought up by the attempt at a plot.....the movie ends...we actually had to check the chapters left on the DVD to see if that was REALLY the end!!!I wouldn't waste my time with this film unless you like "fill in the blank" movies!
