    Frank James Morley: genius. Within his self-imposed monastic and ritualistic existence, he blindly focuses on what is important - to restore balance. At a different time, the present, a child-like facsimile of Frank struggles to compute the meaning and logic to creation and existence. Is this the next stage in the evolution of humanity, or something else?

I viewed this film at the Lausanne Underground Film Festival in Switzerland (twice). It is rare for me to be entirely thrown as I like to think I am an open mind with reasonable intelligence, but at a certain point in this film I realized I had no idea what to think, so much that I became angry at the stupidity of it all and got up and left. I was very angry at myself and glad to find it would be screening in two days so I attend again.

This is a science fiction film for the lover of the conceptual and the abstract as opposite to the action and the special effects. It is a film that is layered with many possible meanings and it raises a lot of interesting questions about the nature of humanity and for me in particular the self righteous arrogance (which is why I got angry and left in the first viewing) that infuses so many of the human race.

Looking back at the first viewing I took it too literal an serious, big mistake, never again. Most if not all films appeal to a specific public and I think that this film would be hard to enjoy by a large number of people. I found it a compelling and unique piece of sci-fi cinema, admittedly, on the second viewing. I look forward to watching this film again on DVD and discussing it with some friends who I know it will blow their minds.
