While the detached, deadpan tone and occasionally stilted acting might leave some viewers flat, there’s no doubting the fierce intelligence behind this admirable puzzle box of a movie.

Fisher never subordinates his big ideas to the usual chase scenes or manufactured love conflicts less confident filmmakers use to candy up such material. That's great — too bad that, in the final third, the movie also doesn't subordinate those ideas to its own story, or to its earlier elegance of construction.

I honestly don't know why I'd never heard of this movie before I saw it on tv the other day. It is so profound and deserves way more recognition than it has. It starts with the captivating concept of frequencies, which often determines your place in life: who you hang out with, where you go to school, even how lucky you are. What starts as a love story between a low-frequency and a high-frequency quickly delves into provocative insights on life. Don't watch this expecting a light-hearted romance. The ending was rather unexpected (the good kind of unexpected), and I won't spoil it for anyone, but it certainly leaves you thinking. A+ to the casting and make-up departments for telling a story that starts in childhood, goes through the teenage years, and finishes as young adults. All in all, this is an excellent movie, and I've never seen anything like it.

This movie really surprised me, because it has only a moderate score. I really enjoyed it however, it has a unique and fresh little idea, one which when added to the world makes for an interesting universe and story base. It's most definitely worth watching.

Tripe! It's like they asked Karl Pilkington to make a movie about neuroscience. It's all complete bollocks. Painful to watch. I might have enjoyed it if i was more scientifically illiterate. I'm not trying to sit on a high horse, and I'm definitely not saying anything bad about sci-fi as a genre - But good sci-fi try to fit their fiction into existing science. Either go all Harry Potter, or preferably, at least try to make it believable. Don't just make up a bunch of ****
