Thinking of going to the red box and trying it out. Looks long as hell.

It actually flies by.

Pretty cool way to tell a story. I'd check it out just to see it. Good Wachowski Bros/Sis film.

It's kinda hard to keep up with because it spans over many stories over different time periods. I think it's 7 different stories? I found it interesting but wouldn't watch it again.

This movie sucks, you keep waiting for one of the stories to get good, and they don't. At two hours in, my only thought was, this isn't over yet! Same thought at 2.5 hours and 3 hours. The wife paid for making me watch this one.

I've seen it. After I saw it though I felt the following...

-I should have read the book first
-I need to watch it again to get a better understanding for it

I think a lot of people hate it because a lot of people don't really understand it.

I liked it a lot.

The story jumps from time to time, and not just a little bit, it will sometimes jump to another era every minute or so. So it can be a little bit confusing.

The idea though, and this is not a spoiler. That in each time period an act from the protagonist of the previous period inspired the protagonist of the next time period. It just seems confusing because they shite from era to era so often. It gets much better on repeat viewings.

i thought it had some interesting moments...it was kind of cool the way they told so many different stories over different times.

however, there were some really ridiculous stupid sh*t throughout

for instance, i couldn't figure out why people in the far off future would basically speak Jive

i keep waiting for scene when someone got hurt, someone would tell there friend.."jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da rebound on da med side"

Ambitious but failed/disjunct effort toward creating universal understanding.
