Got to see this trippy dystopian sci-fi by Terry Gilliam yesterday morning. It stars Christoph Waltz. I enjoy my fair share of trippy films. This one was okay. I was wanting a lot more out of it. I mean, it had a lot of potential. The overall delivery didn't do it for me. This reminded me a lot of Gilliam's older stuff: Brazil mixed with 12 Monkeys with a little dash of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Just wished this one would have blown me away like those films mentioned. Maybe I need to experience it more times to appreciate it. Not love at first sight, that's for sure.
Not recommended. It's a shame because it was shown at Fantastic Fest in 2013. I remember waiting in the standby line for it cause it was full. Luckily, I got in, but I was in the front row. After a few minutes into the movie, I decided to walk out and experience it some other time. I hyped it up for myself. At your own risk.
