I thought the imdb rating of 5 was a little low. For me, this was an interesting movie about mental illness and being lost. Similar to the dual worlds of “Wander” or “Shutter Island”, with a focus on the down and out.

Despite the story’s merit, it suffers from imperfect execution. I thought the three acts or screenplay could have been in a different order. The scifi in act II pulls you out of the story a little, but it does have a point in the overall plot.

Also, the dialogue might have been more salient had it been spoken by different actors. I’ve liked Hayek and Wilson in other movies, but I thought both rolls would have been better served by seasoned dramatists. Just my slant. Many might find their portrayals gripping.

Overall, though, I did find some philosophical value in the story. It’s about a 3/5, somewhat engaging even with it’s flaws.
