    kj, that sfgate review is awful. yes, the movie is confusing and perhaps as ambitious as 2001: Space Odyssey but in many ways it's much much simpler. it is clear from the review that the guy did not understand it.

    the only thing that makes the movie confusing is a small missing link and that is left for audiences to figure out on purpose. and that is precisely what makes this movie work (for me). for others, the missing link will be the reason that they will end up disliking it.

    i was able to figure things out without the aid of recreational drugs and left the theater amazed, and discussed it with my friends for another couple of days.
