the visual art be amaze . the precise attention to detail be remarkable and worthy of a gander . i can not underscore the fluid realism pervasive throughout the film . unfortunately and i could not relay the plot if my life depend on it . i be a college graduate from a major university and i have no idea what be go on for most of the movie . needless to say and my thirteen year old nephew be sorely disappointed when he could not follow what be go on . i think this movie would be perfect for kid while it wasn not . i suppose the audience be suppose to have foreknowledge of the game and it cosmology and since there be little explanation give to the rule that frame the event and sequence before u . without an appreciation for the working reality present and even the best visual effect can not carry a film . it end up rather redundant and slow and to me . my nephew nearly fell asleep and never again mention the movie after we leave and after day of anticipation .
