I know a few people who just might slice their wrists if I made them watch this! Lol. As intriguing as much of this is, there is probably not a slower movie ever made. Slow movies are not a problem for me. Many slow sequences in films just increase their intensity whatever it may be. This however is about the future of mankind two billion years in the future. What's left of humanity two billion years from now are many odd and interesting looking structures and some sort of mankind that is now telepathic and only allows group thinking, though we never actually get to see them. This is about mankind on its last legs sending out signals everywhere imaginable with technology that we have that far in the future. The imagery here is beautiful as is some of the music. It's an interesting piece for the curious film buff, but if ever there were a film that was not meant for everyone, this just might be it! It is completely narrated by Tilda Swinton and she does an excellent job. Slowly.
