We as human beings should take notes while watching this epic and beautiful homage to the desert.
The film teaches us about the fluidity of time and the possibility of time travel. This also explains his earlier films and unchronological order and stories that coexist. Actually it makes us realize that we as humanity sometimes live on our own island and close our eyes to atrocities, dishonesty and corruption. Apart from these great lessons we learn how we as humans can survive in a world with Siberian tigers.
The film has several surreal elements that refer to previous art such as jungle book and Salvador Dali's clocks.
Neil breen, the gift that keeps on giving.

That summary was not an exaggeration. I've only ever had one other mental breakdown in my life, and it was nothing as severe as this one. I'm not gonna go over how or why it was so terrible, because I can't even remember anymore, even though I only finished watching it an hour ago.
I decided to watch this movie with online friends on a website where you can stream videos and watch them together. They said we were gonna watch a "so bad it's funny" movie. Yeah, I laughed at it at first, but then something started going wrong. Some time between the time Neil Breen started spinning around surrounded by rocks forming circles for the first time, and the time the movie showed the first scene with news reporters (Oh my, I can't even remember which came first.). That's when I was starting to feel a bit off. It got gradually worse and worse. I kept watching it and I had to watch it to the very end. The last 10 minutes of the movie felt like hours. The last minute felt like a whole day. I just wanted to get it over with. I couldn't take it much longer. My eyes glued to the screen.
The credits started rolling. My friends, through their microphones, I could hear them laughing about how bad it was. My computer has no microphone, so they couldn't hear me. But then I cracked while the credits were rolling. I started having a mental breakdown. I went into full hysteria. I was howling, screaming, hyperventilating, shivering, I could hear and feel my heart beating despite how noisy my howling was. I felt so physically sick from this movie. I was in so much mental pain thanks to this film. Confused and broken. I am still feeling the aftermath of the mental breakdown this movie sent me through, even more than an hour later. I'm mentally struggling to breathe right now and something feels really strange and painful in my chest. My body temperature feels abnormally high even after taking a cold shower to try to cool down. Now I feel miserable and weak like I never did before. I never felt that way in a very long time.
Something inside me broke. It broke. I am broken. This isn't an exaggeration. I'm not making this up. This actually happened, I swear on my life. Now, after reading the guidelines for IMDb reviews, I have discovered that I must remove profanity and obscenities from my post. I'll try to do that, it might take a while, and might be difficult. I still want to portray how awful this film made me feel, even if I have to remove the curse words I originally wrote. I'm sorry. I can't think straight right now. This movie doesn't even deserve 1 star out of 10. I wish I could give 0 stars out of 10 but I don't think I can. This made Dora the Explorer look like a timeless masterpiece that I would watch every day of my life and be happy with it. So much pain.
Congratulations, Neil Breen, you have created the cruelest form of psychological torture.

A warning from the future... or a primitive calling from our ancestral past?
Breen's fourth film is a portal. It reveals the ethical follies of the human race, and exposes them for all to see. Our lost connection to Mother Earth, to tigers, to immigrants... it's all there. The movie provides deep feelings, Spielberg-esque childlike wonder, biting political commentary, nail-biting action and harrowing drama.
It's almost a perfect 90 minutes a length. It could even fit on a CD and could be listened to as an audiobook. Burn it to a CD and work out to the tune of Breen's soothing voice as you ponder its message.
Absorb it with care, and with any luck, Breen's vision might "pass thru" your system, like yesterday's lasagna - having given you enough sustenance to survive another day in the sad world. It's not so bad it's good. It's so good that it's bad.

Neil Breen movies exist in a category all by themselves. They are amazingly bad in every way you can imagine. The acting is bad. The special effects are bad. The camera work is bad. But at the same time they are some of the most entertainingly bad movies out there. And unlike other creator / writer / director / producers out there Neil Breen has embraced this weirdness that infiltrates every movie he makes and continues to make them in the same way. Others might try too hard or attempt to write something bad on purpose. Not our man Neil Breen. He's committed to making these movies his way and we all love him for it.
There's really one rule when it comes to watching a Neil Breen movie and that is just go with it. No matter what happens, don't question the Breenius at work. Just accept it and move on. You will however notice a lot of similarities in his movies that seem to follow them through time and time again. Things like he plays a messianic figure. Magic rocks that play some kind of role in it. Hacking, government and corporate secrets. An environmental message of sorts. He's also got the sexual magnetism and charisma that just causes women of all ages to want to get down with the Breen. But don't let any of that stop you from watching it. Remember, just go with it.
In this movie he plays an AI from the future. His goal? To kill a lot of bad people and usher in a world of peace. That's literally the plot right there and I'll be honest, this is all I could really get from it. This is Neil at his most incoherent. There's a lot of shots of him walking through the desert and sitting on rocks. This is being done for reasons but I can't figure out why. Maybe he's being artsy? There's a bit about human trafficking. A couple shots of a tiger that is supposed to represent something I guess. Stuff just happens for no apparent reason and there's never a payoff.
Really this should be for Niel Breen purists only or those that want to see a truly baffling and bad movie.

This was by far one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in a while. It is best viewed as a comedy, and although I cannot speak for the director, editor, and main star, (All Neil Breen) I believe this was the ultimate goal of the film. I look forwards to further Breen productions in the future.

...because this movie is the manifesto of someone about to snap. Anyone familiar with Breen's Work will know what to expect; i.e. bad green screen, weird nonsensical imagery, 1-dimensional characters so flat they could fit through a mail slot, and a holier-than-thou agenda of "morality" driven by Mr. Breen's own misguided self-righteousness.
His past movies have done more than touch on this, but it's always been so ridiculously executed that you don't think too hard about what his true intentions are. Guy pushes over some wheelchair-bound geezer, Magical Captain Neil makes his eyes bleed. Thugs in some middle-of-nowhere location shoot at each other over who gets to rape a prostitute first, Big Breen crucifies them. Yeah, Double Down had the bit about him threatening to poison ALL the water with anthrax, but... he didn't actually do it.
In Pass Thru, it's clear from minute one that Almighty Breen Machine is done with threats. He's taken matters into his own hands, and just starts dropping people left and right, killing over 300 MILLION PEOPLE he deemed unworthy. All corporations, all banks, all lawyers, just gone in the blink of an eye. I'm beginning to think Neil actually believes that his character is a good guy in this movie, that he's actually the righteous one, and that's just... chilling, to say the very least.

Whether Breen knows of his incompetence as a director and filmmaker is purely unknown, but what I do know is that Pass Thru, like Fateful Findings, is perhaps one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It's so genuinely, awfully terrible but yet it reeks of passion and charm and, whether he likes it or not, Breen accidentally creates some of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. Sublime. 7/10 purely for entertainment value with a bit of influence from actual quality. So funny.

I watched this "Movie" with some friends. I'd seen trailers for other Neil Breen films and assumed they were all "so bad it's good" type films. I was wrong, this is the most boring movie ever made. It's like an hour of Neil Breen walking through a desert saying terrible pseudo-deep quotes. I played this movie at 2X speed and even then it was incredibly boring.

This is the possibly the best film of the decade. Neil breen has once again proven himself to be the FINEST FILMMAKER of his generation making Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese look like first year amateurs compared to the holy god like BREENESS himself . Pass thru not winning all the categories at the oscars shows how corrupt, arrogant and decadent hollywood elitist has been in past few years ignoring real art while giving the academy awards to amateur talentless hack movies like the favourite and moonlight much like how Neil breen depicts elites in his EPIC MASTERPEICE of a filv. The terrifying special effects and poignant and electrifying stock music soundtrack by Hans Zimmer along with Oscar worthy performance of breen being robo messiah super hero god for the fourth time that saves humanity from evil self serving elitist trump supporters makes me disconnected from reality and question humanity and my very own existence that will make dan brown blush
This film is a masterpiece. No questions needed.
The cinematography? Perfection.
The action? Real and virtually impossible to distinguish from what's real and what's not.
The story? It's the best! It's the best! No questions ask. Can't you tell that Neil Breen is about revamp the human civilization (look at the poster, it shows!)? He is about to kill the 300,000,000 'bad guys' in order to preserve humanity and to that end, he has accomplished the biggest cinematic achievement of all times.
The music? It's meticulous, gratifying, life-changing.

This is the only Neil Breen movie I have not been forced to watch, therefore it is a masterpiece.
On top of this, jrye-56165's review presents exactly why this movie is an absolute master piece.
Thanks Neil Breen and I want my 50 dollars in shipping back please and some good ol' breen beans

With a sixth feature film now in release, Neil Breen's career as an independent filmmaker is the stuff of legend. The American Dream come true. Ignoring all modern ideals of 'quality' and cinematic value, he's forged a 20-year legacy of making exactly what he wants to make the way he wants to make it. His growth as a filmmaker can't be charted. All of his films are basically the same story, the same ideas and the same characters. And nothing makes a lick of sense. They're objectively some of the worst films ever made. But it doesn't matter. The subjective experience is unforgettable.
In Pass Thru, he portrays yet another cyber-space-Messiah who wants to cleanse the world from evil and immorality. Striking a blow for truth and decency and mass-murdering millions who he believes are evil. The morality of this is never questioned. This happens and there's still 30 minutes left in the film. Some people might call such pacing 'boring' but nothing can be boring if you have love in your heart. No lie, this film has some of the best supporting performances I've seen in his films, but the female actresses in particular are excellent. And it hints at a romantic interest only briefly which is a nice change from some of the cheesy love scenes in his previous works. It also relies slightly less on green-screens particularly in the wonderful mine sequences. Maybe he has grown while still staying the same. I love Neil Breen and this film. He's so bizarre, funny and brave that he transcends all possibility of legitimate criticism. A must-see.
