I saw this at a special screening in Dec. It was ok...fucking boring actually. Is it really meant to sync up with HAA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really meant to sync up with HAA? yeah, it definitley does. set the CD to album repeat, then start it when the first scene starts. it's really cool and much more entertaining.

manmower Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Electroma is one of my favorite films of all time. But yes, you have to be able to handle the bore factor. It's a lot like Kubrick's 2001 in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Vidiot Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I don't know about that comparison. Kubrick's pacing is slow...but there's obviously a grander climax on the way. Electroma could be unbearable at times. Especially when they're walking in the desert...sheesh. Then that weird vagina hill!? I feel like I'm a viewer that could watch almost anything, but the audience around me was getting really impatient. I'm not sure if I would enjoy this at home...

manmower Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well understandably comparing any movie to 2001 is never going to go down well. The part of Electroma where the main characters are getting their new faces did come across as sort of an homage to me though. Other than that I'd say Electroma has a pretty strong climax itself. I haven't watched it with an audience but I don't think I'd care what they thought or did. I've watched and enjoyed it several times at home, alone, in its entirety, and to me it's a strong movie. Perhaps not very cerebral but certainly very emotional. Haven't tried to play Human After All alongside the movie, might do it one day but I'm skeptical, plus I love the soundtrack which is already in the actual movie.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That movie was boring. They directed Electroma to make more money and people watched the movie due to their popularity only. That was really well done but it lacked of some action.

manmower Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Electroma only lacks action in the same way instrumental music lacks vocals. If that makes any sense at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - did anyone notice Chris Cunningham did the steady-cam work on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
