Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

danielgrabowy Brilliant film. I do feel like only certain people will enjoy it though. If you are a lucid dreamer or if you have contemplated the meaning of existence for some time, this may be for you.In my opinion the entire film is quoteworthy and also it is one of the few films that I'd easily watch directly again after just having watched it. Technique, music, idea, narrators, filmography, all simply fits. This film is a masterpiece!

jedwiant2 This film is one of the most masterful successes of independent cinema. The scenes move from one to the other in a work of art. The ramblings in the dialogue represents a passion in all existence and their struggle to figure things out.Why am I here? What am I doing? Who will I find? The answer is nobody really knows and there are infinitely many amounts of reasons for why people exist in a certain place and a certain time. Never has a film empowered me by its curiosity and direct dialogue that makes you feel like a part of this "dream" that is someone's life in his dying hours, or his awakening. Existence is eternal.9/10 for the reason that its complex and constant dialogue weighs down the movie midway.

paulg-67221 This film suffers the same problem as Crash (the 2004 film not the Cronenberg film, I haven't seen that yet), every single scene is about the exact the same thing. In this film's case it is philosophy. The concept was interesting but it would have been much better if the filmmakers had just filmed philosophy professors and rotoscoped it in a way to make the footage visually interesting. A massive problem with the film is that characters discuss philosophy and are never heard of again. If you are going to make a film about a single subject and not offer anything else at least make it a short film. Although in Before Sunrise the characters did chat about philosophy, they also talked about love and themselves allowing us to get to know them as people. At least Before Sunrise had a love story (offering more than Waking Life) and was visually interesting because of the location (the rotoscoping in this film looks ugly, the rotoscoping in A Scanner Darkly is much better but still a little off-putting, luckily that film actually has a plot so I can forgive it).I give the film 5/10 because the concept is good and did introduce me to some interesting ideas but sadly the film offered very little else and I don't think I'll ever watch it again. A pity, I wanted to enjoy this film because of Linklater but I couldn't.Edit: I have decided to rate this movie a 3/10. This is because it doesn't feel like a movie, it's just scenes tacked onto one another without much connecting them (if anything). (04/09/2016)

AimGG At first the visuals impressed me, they are really something new and I thought they were well made to transport a philosophical message, but I after half of the movie I realized that's it. This is the movie and it is nothing more than intellectual phrases and opinions, not a movie at all.And it's not like anything that was said is ground breaking new or has been put in great perspective or insight, no, nothing. It's a messy collection of basic philosophical statements and they go just as randomly as they come. They don't build up, tell a story or provoke a special thought. The director covers this mess up by suggesting that he might dream ... yeah wow ...I love philosophy but this movie was absolutely nothing new, it could be for someone who never got in touch with philosophy but in this case I doubt this is what such a person could like. But at least they could say they liked it to impress others. :) I'm giving it 3 stars just for the appreciation of the visuals and the approach of a philosophical genre. Hopefully there will be more such (better made) movies in future.
