I rented this movie yesterday and enjoyed it despite it being totally obscure. The plot is fairly hard to follow, I think, but it makes sense if you think about it.

What does anyone else think to this film?

Not only that, but also his nonsensical “deep” jargon too.

Considering it's his first ever full length movie and he's only 26 or 27 (or was at the time of production anyway), I don't think he sucks. I actually quite respect him and the film.

Doubt it as the writer and director were two of the same.

I disagree with everyone except goatboy. Bad film, but the ending was good. Good in the sense it is random (much like the ending of Sophie's world (book)), but it was for rock fans who think they're alternative, and want pointless obscurity.

Yeah, why can't it be both? At least it wasn't another no-brain Steven Seagal film. Man, there's a man who likes his pies.

This explains all.

Didn't work this out when I watched it, I must admit.

It has nothing that wasn't in Bill and Ted. Rubbish film hyped to the max because it was "Indie". that term has lost all of it's meaning.
