I initially wanted to give it 3 stars because I like Brit Marling and Michael Pitt, liked Steven Yeun, too.
But as watching it to the end became a real chore, I chose not to.
Was extremely annoyed by the Spanish-French actress, her character was such an annoying know-it-all, I wished she really had been from another planet, that would have made it interesting...
The beginning immediately threw me off, basing a relationship on some pseudo spiritual talk, ending in many guys' fantasy (being forced into a toilet and f- ---), and from that developed an obsession (get it), lots of sex (okay), and pseudo-spiritual talk from the scientist - 'my atoms have always loved you' - NOT meant as a joke (puke) - apparently true love. Yeah. Not in MY universe.
All this sloooowwwww, and booooring, and no fuuuuun,,.
She deserved to die, I was glad of it. Geez, the know-it-all-who-is-SO-deep-AND- is-called-'Sophie' - puh-leeeeze! An insult to my intelligence, and my movie-bones. She is rude and moody and difficult. I was neither invested in her or their relationship or anything really.
What a silly script. Pointless. Ridiculous. Cheesy. Predictable.
Read a book on morphic resonance instead. Or re-watch 2001, which plays with this idea in a much more entertaining way (though at times being just as boring...^^)
I am a romantic. I think I'm a bit spiritual alongside my atheism - those two are not mutually exclusive, by the way. I can suspend reason for a film, if it draws me in and takes me for a ride. This is a roadwreck. But to each their own...
But this iris-doubles idea was just silly and dumb, as was the whole script.
Should have known after 5 minutes this was going nowhere slow...
Watch 'In Your Eyes' - now THAT's a good movie!!! :-)
