This movie's definitely underestimated, it's more of an artistic picture of progressive consciousness, the costumes are great like a painting, nice visuals with light and color and architectural structures, the soundtrack is very emotional; at least it's worth a watch with open mind.

Its funny, saying this movie is a waste of time in a way is a spoiler. the movie seemingly wants you to leave with that conclusion.Its one of those experiences where at the credits end, you look around wonder what went wrong.You look around the empty theater that has continued to be empty from the moment you arrived and realized you were the only one in a 45 mile radius to fall for this. You look on the screen after credits, and see some 'intense dude' with his 'futurey' cover of "grapevine" on repeat for 15 minutes.You think back to the entire process that lead you there: when you first heard about the hype, the possibilities, the purchase of the twenty dollar tickets, and the thrill of driving 45 minutes to Greenville to see the film. And you find yourself feeling goop-ed out of your time and energy. YouTube does what this movie does on the reg.

The biggest mistake was to give into the marketing hype of collective cognition bands on the day of the world premier that would be given to the audience and results would be shown live after the movie to see the brain mapping (which didn't happen).The movie has nothing to do with the experiment, the story, the plot-line is bizarrely vague and made no sense.Everything was a rip off, marketing gimmick to sell this movie which even Sam O Neil couldn't have carried on his shoulders, the producers knew that this movie would be a huge huge disaster and the only way to make money would be create an unrealistic hype to justify selling the tickets 20 bucks a pop.The story is meaningless, acting was worse than B grade movies, the graphics were cheap, there is absolutely nothing praise worthy about this film.

Mindgamers was a huge let down for me. The movie was entirely way too long for such a simple premise, and I yawned through more than half the film. The technology is amazing, and I loved all of the ideas and possibilities that can/will come from it. The biggest let down was that I wasn't a part of the experiment, although it seemed that I would be when I paid as much as I did. The trailers were very misleading. I feel as though everything I saw in the theater was something I could have fully enjoyed in a five minute video on youtube. Thanks a lot Fathom, my birthday sucked.
