First of all, the movie has Laurence Fishbourne and Sam Neil in it. That should be enough to make any film fan weak in the knees. Imagine if the movie would have been Jurassic Park meets The Matrix in SPACE! Now that would have been a sure fire hit.
So I've heard, like everyone else on the internet, that the movie is highly edited from it's original cut. They took out a lot of the horrible maiming and mutilation. Well, I agree with that decision. I don't give a fuck about the artist's original vision if the original vision would have made the movie harder to watch.
What important meaning am I supposed to surmise from a bunch of glorified gore and gross out shit? I've seen the movie clown movie from 2017 I think where the clown smears shit all over a restaurant bathroom before going on a killing rampage. I didn't find any meaning in that movie and I don't think there is any meaning in the suffering of humans in general. So yeah, I'm pretty much a Philosopher today. Eat your heart out, ......college. Yeah, mother fucking college can suck it.
There were several times where all I could think was "what a beautifully shot movie." Such a variety of things to look at on what I would normally imagine to be a bland office style workplace. I mean, it's a space ship designed for people to travel to the edge of Hell in or some shit like that. I wouldn't imagine that there would be a whole lot of creativity needed in the interior designing of a ship like that. But they came through with it anyway.
The Doctor and his wife keep meeting in weird places and she usually scares the shit out of him. The ship becomes possessed by the Devil or something like that and everyone on board is at risk of having a flashback to their evil, worse times and deeds.
Eventually the ship turns one of the characters into a slashier version of Pinhead from Hellraiser. He's all hyped to go show everyone what Hell is like. How are there any characters evil enough to be hyped about the trip to Hell? Wouldn't any sort of visit to Hell suck? No matter how evil and sadistic you are, or who you know there, I doubt anybody really enjoys an eternity of torture and evil. Maybe that's just me.
Anyway, I had a flashback of my own while watching the movie. It was to a time when I really believed that life would just get better and better. But it turns out that I was just spinning my wheels and I'm just as alone as I always thought. Maybe that's how Morgan Freeman feels in the world of professional voice over. Can't say for sure, I don't know the guy. Anyway, I recommend the movie, it was pretty good.
