    Watched it today, I found it worth sharing. Although it's not for everyone.

          that's a bit depressing, still might be worth watching while the wife and kids are away next week

    This is one film I will only recommend with some serious hedging. I think the idea is brilliant and have watched it a number of times myself. With that being said, I find some of the writing and acting absolutely atrocious.

      Agreed, the ending felt really tacked on like they had no idea how to bring the show to a conclusion as well.

        Well considering the topic of the movie, any climax would not satisfy the viewers entirely.

    It's been a long time since I saw that one, so I don't remember all the details; but I do remember it being an interesting philosophical thought experiment. I'm going to have to watch it again.

    I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was younger. He hyped it up so much, but I thought it was pretty good. I should rewatch it again to better understand the philosophical ideas, and really have a better understanding of writing and acting. One thing that really stood out to me as a kid was there were only a couple backgrounds, which was pretty impressive. Props to the writers for making it work

    Any similar (out of the box) philosophical movie recommendation are most welcomed
