What a gorgeously shot, well-acted, but totally stupid movie. I want my time back. I could have watched a test pattern. Not as big a waste of time as Darren Aronofsky's piece of crap, "Mother!" But it is in the same ballpark. Do not waste your time. Please!
Ever watch one of those movies that could not decide what it wanted to be? Well that was "The Void." I could barely pay attention. It was filled with terrible acting, very bad make up effects, it jumped from what movie it was trying to be to some other movie and then back again. The only surprises were because they didn't make any sense and were thrown in just to surprise you. Bad. Really, really bad. Please save your time and your brain. Do not watch. The only thing I liked about it was Aaron Poole as Daniel Carter, and he wasn't very good. Which is odd because he was quite good in "Strange Empire" showing that the best of actors can suffer from a bad director. But we saw that with Liam Neeson and Natalie Portman in "The Phantom Menace...."
I demanded my money back and wouldn't leave the theatre until I got it back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS MOVIE! This is what I call an "Emperor's New Clothes," movie. People will be afraid that this was something significant and deeply intelligent and they didn't get it so they will say they thought it was brilliant, when in fact it took a child to say, "Hey! the King is naked!" and finally the people in the crowd said, "Yes!" and "He's right!"
And that is what this movie is. Naked. Nothing. Lots of special effects and images and stuff to back time-misplaced Beatniks say, "Oh! But this is a dazzling expose and analogy of the nature of the relationship between humankind of God. In fact it is nothing. It is absolutely NOTHING. Anyone could have strung a lot of dialogue together and told us it means something. In fact at first I thought it was like that episode of Monty Python where the guest keep showing up and won't leave.
As the credits rolled I accidentally cried out, "What a piece of crap," and a bunch and people called at comments like, "Yes!" and "He's right!" The Emperor is naked.
This movie made me feel pummeled and intellectually raped. I would have rather watched preview for two hours than watch this movie.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
