The visual design was great. Everything else, not so much. I was especially dismayed at how much scientific plausibility was handwaved to death (in really unnecessary and obtrusive ways) for the sake of expediting the plot, only to have that same plot slow to a crawl in order to have 93 flashbacks of the same five thematically-relevant moments of the main character's childhood. By the film's final moments, I was continuously thinking "I GET IT, ALREADY." The more emotional moments seemed like they were overemphasized specifically to interrupt and distract from the nonsensical plot that was occurring. Still, it was pretty cool how they just kind of stuffed an old digital camera into his brain. Oh no! They forgot to set the clock! JAN 01 1999?! That's not right! Now all his brain datas will have the wrong timestamp! Uh ohhhhhhhhhh! Also don't think too hard about the brain data transfers, thanks!! 2 of 5, mostly for for William Fichtner's delivery when he tells a peon not to breathe on him. e: a shameful boehner posted:Instead, I got enough shakycam action that would make the Blair Witch Project blush. This isn't an exaggeration. One of the very first scenes, in which a child walks twenty feet, had me wondering whether the camera had been mistaken for a hacky sack. e2: The film helpfully tells you in some truly awkward expository dialogue that the villains are Really Bad People, so that you don't accidentally think the guy who is first seen blowing up civilian shuttlecraft might be anything other than a total prick.
