As the movie was going on, I felt like I was watching a movie made out of a fourteen year old boys journal. I will change my review if Kelley was trying to make the most ridiculous movie ever, because he succeed brilliantly at that.
This movie will become like Rocky Horror Picture show, where audiences will be shouting out the amazingly bad dialog and the hands down worst ever voice over narration ever recorded on film.
This is one of those films that beats you over the head with how "different" it is. It's also a muddled mess of plot that is beyond confusing, which it's supporters will say is the point. Audiences don't mind putting together a puzzle and having a few missing pieces, but it's kind of annoying when you give us pieces from 1000 different puzzles.
This must be based on a script that Kelley wrote as his master's thesis in film, because he tried to cram as many different genres and other director's styles into it as he could. Clockwork Orange, Fifth Element, Robert Altman, David Lynch, Airplane, Quentin Tarantino. This causes the film to become a blender full of goop that tastes like nothing.
Here comes the spoiler.
The good thing it has going for it, is that it's obviousness, bad dialog/acting, and it's unearned righteousness make for some HILARIOUS scenes. I am still laughing at the monkey's in the fifth dimension. The out of nowhere pointless musical sequence brought tears to my eyes.
