I very much enjoyed this film and didn't see a preview beforehand, so I didn't know what to expect. I watched it because it had Molly Shannon in it, and she's just a peach. Upon watching this.. I'm like, "OK, we got a gay character....OK, another gay character... Oh, no we are in a gay bar making jokes." So that was a pleasant surprise there. Also, this movie isn't "hilarious" as I saw on advertisements and such. This movie has its funny moments, but it's camouflaged over top of very touching emotional issues and Molly Shannon's character, whom is a dying of cancer. So, "hilarious" is too much of a word to say considering I was crying with little hints of chuckling here and there. This movie deserves better ratings, but people suck.. So, I can't expect more than the rating it has. Also, I'd like to say that Jesse Plemons did a GREAT job in his role. I forgot that he was in other movies to be honest, because he was so believable as this gay character... And I hadn't paid that much attention to his work before this. :/ I do remember him in Battleship upon seeing he was in that like 10 minutes ago, and remember thinking he was a little cutie. He has a Matt Damon thing about him going on. I guess his character in this film reminded me of myself, very much so.. And I just wanted to give him a big hug. But enough about me.. Just watch it if you want to watch something touching and you feel compassion for families dealing with losing someone.

I'm seeing all of the negativity people are posting about this movie and I must say something.

This movie is brilliant. People are going to get upset because is the argument of brain capacity and what would happen, and the universe. People are always going to argue because its hypothetical. This is a movie, not a documentary.

Luc did a great job writing and directing this baby of his. The effects are amazing and he did enough research to fully accomplish this film. He said to himself,"what would happen if we reached 100% brain capacity?" I'm sure everyone would have their own opinion and in this film, Luc expressed his ideals. This isn't something to get upset over.

My favorite part of the movie the changing of her eyes. :) It's amazing. The whole idea of seeing a true visualization of currents and connecting with the Universe is simply a masterpiece.

I'm not giving spoilers, you'll just have to see it yourself people. Happy movies!

I can't understand all the hate directed to this movie. The film really is great and it didn't BOMB at the box office. Many great movies with great reviews and big budgets make significantly less. The movie racked in 243,824,693 with a budget of around 130 Mill? That's over 100 Mill more over the budget. So after everyone gets paid there is over 100 Mill left over? That's not even including numbers from DVD sales.

Everyone was disappointed that the movie didn't make more money, but honestly, there are many great film makers out there who would kill just to have their work displayed on the screen without making Millions of dollars. It's sad to think that people will only be happy when they make "this amount of money" What about the story?? There was some really interesting moments within the film. I love the relationship that the sister of Katai had. I believe her name was Senshi. I also love the relationship between Katai and the large bird. It was nice to see that at least one of the animals within the film had a heart and seen Katai as a friend. It broke my heart when she died for Katai to live.

Do I think the movie could have been a little better? Yes, but the story is there. People worked really hard to make this film happen and many believes in the story. I gave this movie an 8/10 because I rather enjoyed it. It kept me entertained and had a really great message. The character development was rich and developed appropriately for the story it is. I would be happy to see the sequel.
