Every few years there's a movie like Blues Brothers or Blade Runner that is ahead of it's time and overlooked upon release. This is one of them. In a graphic novel-esque world of neon lights and shadows the movie follows Antonio Banderas as a private investigator searching for a missing girl - finding life swallowing black holes created by a scientist looking for god. With a premise like that you know you're in for something special.This movie has an unique visual concept, an original story and a cast that helps create a new semi-genre which can only be described as neon-noir. While other movies shy away from their concepts this one goes all in.Worth the watch for cinematography and lighting alone.In 10 years from now this will be a cult movie.

Worst movie I've seen. Really bad light effects, bad camera positions, really bad movie, the sky is clearly a green screen on the back. Plot sucks, the idea of it might be good, but it's attempt to become a comedy sucked.The only thing that can be rescued are the sex scenes, which were quite good (Anyone would agree with me, sadly this isn't a porn film, so I won't add any stars for it)I'm amazed that the budget was of 17 million, it was probably all spent on Antonio Banderas.I do not recommend this movie for anyone, unless they want to fall sleep.

Not the best film I've ever seen, but definitely worth watching(in my fav list of random weird original flicks). Good mix of themes...Acting is not top notch, although it doesn't feel like it was supposed to be perfect, almost comic-like...Sam Elliot (great!), and Antonio Banderas (typical role, but good). Great mix of quantum science with mystery/crime theme...Great cosmic visual effects,interesting use of FX. Especially intriguing if you have a basic knowledge of, or in my case, infatuation without a physics degree, in quantum physics/mechanics/etc. I see a representation of quantum entanglement and a bit of string theory in the plot, anyone else?

I'm a casual movie buff, not a genera expert or closet critic. I can't speak to the films undertones or subtext. All I can tell you is what I thought.The Big Bang showed up on Netflix streaming a few days ago and since it had Banderas in it I tossed it in my queue. I had no idea what it was about, no idea when it was released or how well it did in the box office. I just figured that it couldn't be worse than "Ecks vs. Sever".Ten minutes in I was hooked. I know some people won't like the extreme visual style, hard juxtaposition and modern take on Nior style, but I found it interesting. As for the plot it kept me guessing (wrong) to the very end.As far as the acting goes I thought it was good. Banderas I (almost) always like. Sienna Guillory I'd never heard of and Sam Elliot in a role I would have NEVER imagined him in. The movie is full of good supporting actors too. Thomas Kretschmann, Bill Duke, William Fichtner and move. Everyone does a good job.The stand out for me was the quirky character of Fay Neman played by Autumn Reeser. She and Banderas share the chattiest love scene ever and redefine physics geeks.I enjoyed this movie and I'll watch it again. It's strange but compelling and worth the hour and a half.
