An average movie

Even though this movie apparently didn't get much love when it was released,  a new feature directed by Terry Gilliam is always an event so I was really eager to check the damned thing. Eventually,  even though I really wanted to like it, I have to admit that it didn't manage to keep my interest until the very end. Indeed,  basically,  it was pretty much some kind of psychotic surrealist nightmare mixed with a production designer's wet dream,  which is something that could be said about most of the work delivered by Gilliam. It is interesting that, thanks to the current wave of CGI technology, there are virtually no more boundaries for this visionary who can pretty much go all the way to create the most intricate worlds you could think off. Unfortunately, Gilliam decided to mainly remain in one place, Qohen's mad house/church/headquarters and you just get an handful of characters who didn't have much interesting to do or to tell. So, there must have been some more or less hidden message there somewhere but I'm afraid I missed it but, to be honest,  I don't think I really mind. To conclude,  even though it didn’t really deliver, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you're interested in Terry Gilliam's work.
