This guy. Really does hate every movie he sees. You guess it was supposed to be a metaphor about cancer or self-destruction. If that's all you got of it I can see why you didn't like it.
That's really not what I got out of it, that's what critics who raved about it got out of it. Apparently, they think just being a metaphor for something makes it great. It doesn't.
The characters were bland, the shimmer was bland, the story bland, and the ending was cliched. The movie was cold and lifeless.
I would say it looked good, but it really didn't at my showing (I think something was up with the projector as it was very washed out).
I don't hate many movies (and didn't hate this one), but find most are in the mediocre range.
It's funny, I used to be criticized here for liking Paul Blart (I didn't) and now I am told I hate everything (I don't).
