Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Seriously? Why? Just...why? Aki is my favorite Spoiler alert: nobody is "it". Not ever.

A nice movie,with great story-line,amazing acting, thrill, confusion, one-of-the-best-kind-of horror scenes,which ends up conveying a great message to the audiences over there.The climax sums up all the messed up scenes and the reason why they happened like THAT.Eventually in the 2nd half of the movie,you would be able to link each of the detail that happened in the 1st half.Though it was quite tough to relate to the story-line up to the middle of the movie but the 2nd half was making this more and more thrilling.Last but not the least,it's weird but I loved it.PS. (-2) is for some imaginary part of the story and its execution.Otherwise, it's different from other movies and worth your time I would say.

First of all, the film has a moderate quality in today's standards. But it has a great satirical critique. And it's not a known production, because it's not much liked by the audience and it's not a huge budget. It's a movie made in Japan. We can see in this film the appearance of skirt under white pants which is the classic of Japanese films. The film contains very exaggerated and absurd scenes for being satirical. The vast majority of disliked audiences don't like the film because of absurd, exaggerated scenes. The film starts on the bus with a school trip. It's dividing an unspecified windy bus into two. The main girl, Mitsuko, is the only survivor. After when she goes to school, she realizes she does not know anyone in the school. This school is not her school and her friends are not her friends. Then there's another weird incident in school. The teachers of the school are starting to kill everybody in the school with a scanning rifle. Mitsuko runs away from school and takes refuge in a police station. And when the cop holds the mirror to the girl, we see again the identity of someone different. And here we can understand that Mitsuko is in a game, not real life. It's quite possible to compare it to The Matrix movie. And from here on in the movie Mitsuko continues to progress like an arcade mode game. As the film progresses, it gets different identities every time. It is also possible to see a lot of Hollywood shipments in the movie. By way of example, the Keiko character's wedding could be a fighting scene at the end of The Matrix's derivation. When we continue through this, Keiko escapes from there and continues in a running race. And in this jogging race, we see everybody in the film from start to finish. At the end of the run, like a cave, Izumu entered the world of men from here. Especially noteworthy is that there are no men in the film until this scene. Here Mitsuko sees the future and faints. When Mitsuko wakes up, she finds herself in a game. We see a very old man with long hair playing with them like a PlayStation. In this case, we see a feminist critique of the use of women in the fact that all of this is a game that men do. Mitsuko is actually a dead woman in 2034 and men have created a game with her genetics. Then we see the sculptures of dead women in the film. Mitsuko then realizes that the men will start the game again and kills herself at the beginning of the game in order to break the loop. When Mitsuko dies, all the playable characters die, and mitsuko gets a chance in the snow. End overall, the film uses Feminism correctly and makes a good criticism that men dominate the woman. Because feminism sees women and men equality in symbols and improper use of it in movie. The film can be a good production made to break the perception that men lead women. As I mentioned at the beginning, the film is not very good quality, but it contains a solid criticism.

Let's start saying that I will not deny Mr Sono his desire to push boundaries and be original. Just 5 minutes into the movie and we have like 200 million women that have been cut in half but some weird wind. Women, yes, because well, you will notice quite soon that men are not ones to be seen around a lot in this movie.But the problem is that he just seems to want to be original for the sake of it, and doing so, ends repeating himself quite a bit. Leaving out all his religious symbols and passion for underwear, that come up in all of his movies (or at least in all I have seen), he ends just being a marvelous director in terms of camera-work, scenery, original shots, etc etc, and horrible in the plot department. I enjoy looking at his movies, but from a distance, and like for 5 minutes, when I notice there is no plot to hold the visuals.But where in Tokyo Tribe, for example, he had a more or less original plot and crazy idea (a story told by actors "rapping"; I'm generous here by calling their singing rapping, but it's part of the movie...) here we just have random situations that are hold together by... well, nothing. We have poor Mitsuko (Reina Triendl) just running around from one place to the other while something (I think he is winking his eye at Sam Raimi here; or just plainly copying) at first, teachers later, and well, weird things further on (I'll let you see it if you are interested) try to kill her. Poor Reina Triendl is not very expressive in this movie, but well, she has not much to work on. I see Mr. Sono telling her: LOOK SCARED! SCARED! JUST LOOK SCARED AND RUN!If this review makes no sense to you, the movie will make less. Sono, as Miike Takashi before he went mainstream, tries to be original and ends like the drunkard that loses himself in his own story by leaving everyone else scratching their heads. Original, yes; makes no sense, you betcha.
