I went to see this last night - it's the only film where I've known about 5 people in unison to say out loud "oh, for ****'s sake"!
And yes, after Forrest Whittaker's 'story' I was one of them. The most frustrating film I think I've ever seen, but at the same time it was OK. Couldn't sit through it again though!
Anyone else seen it?

I saw the advert for this on the Resident Evil: Extinction DVD and thought to myself "That looks confusing and probably doesn't have a satisfactory explanation. I think I'll give it a miss"
By the sounds of things, it was the right choice...

It does have the satisfactory explanation to it, but without introducing any spoilers, it's done in a way that's been done much more effectively previously in films like Run Lola Run...
You just wanted it to carry on and it just didn't!

I was going to go and see this on Monday but the rain changed my mind
Doesn't it go back to the same point like 8 differnet times from different POV? That must getting very annoying

yes and very much yes! hence people's "for ****'s sake" reactions!!
It's not terrible, it certainly has it's moments & I have seen much, much worse, but by christ it drags it out!

Each to their own I guess - I'm glad you enjoyed it though!
Forrest Whittaker's acting really made it all the more bearable for me, he was superb in Last King Of Scotland too.
I think I was just in a cynical mood this morning...
