a really good movie and i liked it, despite the bad reviews it got... thought it was extremely entertaining and very psychological and subliminal

anybody agree, disagree??

I couldn't sit through it. Even though I'm a fan of Phillip K. d**k's work, this movie just didn't work for me. It was interesting to look at, but after a while, it just got nauseating.

I'm sure it's a decent movie, I just didn't have the patience for it.

I watched it for about 10 minutes then gave up, I couldn't handle it.  

[Rorschach Lives]

I have yet to see it

I saw a good 30 minutes of it and it was a bit dizzying. I thought something was wrong with my screen for a good 5 minutes before I realized it was animation on top of live action. I really only remember Rory's character cause he was pretty funny. It looked like a decent movie, but haven't gotten around to watching the rest of it.

I loved it.  

[sankapoo]

Can't say that I liked it to much. It was kind of weird and it bored me terribly.

Good concept though.  

[Nennieboy]

I have to admit it was kinda hard to watch and it had a sad ending.
wouldnt recommend watching it twice  

[absolutezerocel]

ah i see, well just wanted to see what other people thought, though i will admit that i could only sit through it once  

[Travis III]

It's one of my favourite movies. I find it both entertaining and thought-provoking, and I watch it quite regularly.

I think I posted my thoughts on the film in another thread, but I'll rehash here. I thought that the main strength of the film lay in the rotoscoping, rather than the acting, or the script. Even though the script was adapted from a Phillip K. d**k short story, it just didn't have the immediacy and psychological realism I expect from his work. I found the acting itself pretty sub-standard for the most part, too, and I'm not that great a fan of rotoscoping so that was lost on me too. I am glad I watched it, and would certainly recommend it, but I'm not sure if I'd call the film 'good'.

When it first came out and I saw the previews on T.V. I really wanted to see it. I thought the animation of the movie was creative, but now that I read most of your comments about the movie causing dizziness to some and it may even be nauseating to some, I think there is good reason for the animation causing that. Mind you, I have never seen the movie, but would love to see it someday or soon.

If you've ever been an addict don't watch this movie and if you are, maybe you should. Between Keanu, Woody and Downey Jr. there were some funny parts. I think the rotoscoping was the main key to this movie. I'd see again if it happened to be on T.V.

I think there are better addicition films out there. I'm not a massive fan of Spun other than because it looks nice, but Requiem for a Dream is brilliant, unsurprisingly from Aronofsky.

im pretty sure if i ever wanted to see a movie about addiction again i would watch mosterball again...
