n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

View MoreOh well, one always hopes to be dazzled by anything Ewan McGregor puts his enormous and gifted talents to with few exceptions, we are always pleased. Nevertheless, Solid Geometry is atypical in its storyline and approach to direction, thus the production is a muddle of many directions and mismatched stories.McGregor's uncle, mentor, director, the talented Denis Lawson weaves his story of a young man obsessed with the dusty journals of a departed great grandfather into a postmodern H.P. Lovecraft-style story. This is fine and easy to follow as the character McGregor plays is a rather yuppie shallow sort with a cute wife, good job, and not much going on upstairs. However, once he uncovers the journals and a jar containing a preserved p*#is, the web begins to draw in this loose at ends fly.Lawson's direction of his nephew is relaxed and the relationship is obvious in McGregor's character development of Phil. McGregor's acting at times seems to be on automatic pilot for he seems to forget to act. Rather than melting into character, the character melts into the actor. Lawson should have urged the actor to take more charge of his role.Perhaps more problematic is why we should care about the faltering relationship between Phil and his wife, Maise. She is an underdeveloped character suffering the ultimate end as a guinea pig to her distracted and cold husband. But, when Phil's libido returns, she and WE are delighted to be treated to a voyeuristic romp in the hay with Phil and Masie. Lawson's overhead camera work in the bedroom love scenes will have Ewan McGregor fans panting for more.Butt, or no -- Solid Geometry is uneven, in need of editing, and maybe a wee bit more direction than either McGregor or Lawson has presented. Not bad, just not solid.
View MoreI loved this film. I saw it about 2 years ago now, I can't actually remember but i remember seeing it on TV. Only 30 minutes long, but was excellent. I felt perhaps it could have been longer and could have had a better ending, but Ewan's character is great in this, and i would recommend it to anyone. This film is great and deserves an 8. Has anyone else seen this film? I can see that it didn't get many ratings. I thought it was amazing. I felt a little weird after watching it. I mean could you imagine if this sort of stuff could actually happen. It would be really weird and amazing at the same time. I am going to try and find this film in stores.
View MoreAn intriguing plot with a real twist. Does Masie wind up in the desert of babies I wonder? I really though he was going to have the guts to go visit for himself, evil sod. I loved the motif of the origami flower which had the precision of Western mathematics and the beauty of Easter mysticism. Very like the kind of thing you see Buddha sitting in before he rises to a new dimension.Anyone interested in reading some freaky stuff on higher-dimensional mathematics could do no better than picking up a copy of Rudy Rucker's The Fourth Dimension. When you get your head round the fact that left and right handedness is purely subjective and visualising hypercubes you'll enjoy this film on a whole new level. Happy exploring.
View MoreAfter watching "Solid Geometry" I was left staring at the screen for a bit, stunned, it's a good idea to watch this with friends so you can discuss it.It's not so complex and intricate as something like 'Mullholland Drive', but it has a taste of that.Ewan Mcgregor fans will love it, as it has the thought provoking style of much of his work, and great directing by his uncle Denis Lawson.Definitely worth watching, even though at 30 minutes it does feel unfinished, unexpanded, almost like a taster for a bigger project, almost like a vehicle to attract funding in order to make a full feature.
