Albeit I'm only halfway through before I took a break, but I can say I don't get it at all.
Honestly I stopped 20 minutes in to do something else, forgot where I was when I came back to it, fast forwarded through all the things I had just watched yet didn't remember at all.
In short, disappointed. I have another 49 minutes to watch which I will dutifully finish before watching any other piece of film. It just seems to go off on tangents all the time. Like, ok there's some sort of spire, and there's universes they're talking to, and none of it seems to have anything to do with a guyfriends and a girl that just started dating one guy as they all went out to some machine shop to work on futuristic engines? You've lost me...
Perhaps It's just that I've been drip fed storylines from the simplistic programming that's on these days, or they just had no desire to help the viewer make sense of it in the first viewing, or even it may be one of those movies for art's sake, which are cool in concept, but if it doesn't make sense to most people, isn't it just masturbating? Self-satisfaction for no useful purpose.
Guess I'll do some curls, pushups, then try to finish this thing.
