I really enjoyed this film. The cast, acting, cinematography, sets, script all top-notch. Many of critical of the Christian symbolism etc, I really didn't find any of that over-the-top at all. What's in a name? Not a helleva lot. The film itself has moments of utter psychological distress which I couldn't help to feel personally. Emotionally I was really drawn to this film. Sure it's not perfect but for a different take on the sci-fi genre (the French always do things differently) it has its place amongst others than are original and don't follow a distinct formula. The end had such an intense visual climax it was like a massive, visceral, abstract, surreal overload. The sort of thing I'm always looking for in electronic music - hard to find but nothing feels quite like it when you do. Don't be put off by all of the negative comments, I think this film deserves your support. And keep an open mind. Having an appreciation of the abstract helps. This film shouldn't be taken too literally.
