I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

hyped garbage

As Good As It Gets

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I had to write this. When I read idiotic reviews - I'm furious - usually the same people comment Monthy Python, Jabberwocky, Tideland, Doctor Parnassus - DC comics fans. Why do you comment if you don't understand movies like: Delicatessen, Brasil, Jabberwocky, City of Lost Children, Dodesukaden or Basron Munhausen?? I was waiting decades for movie made from start to the end by Terry Gilliam and his imagination alone! Brazil is the only movie I love more. if you love similar kind of art - please, look for works of Jean-Pierre Jeunet or... well, I can name a few people, but there is noone even close to Terry Gilliam and Jeunet... I was dissapointed when I saw "Brothers Grimm", I was happy to see "Tideland" and "Dr. Parnassus" (very good movie - I love it), but I was back in 1985, when I saw "The Zero Theorem"... This is true, fantascic, beautiful, wise sequel to Brazil - my beloved movie of all times.I do not want to say what you gonna do or what's good or not - this is only your own opinion.In short - if you love Brazil, Delicatessen, Blade Runner, City of Lost Children, movies by Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Pierre Jeunet or even Tim Burton (the most "freaky" ones; like "Corpse Bride" or "Nightmare before Christmas" - you'll love this movie. This is absolutely beautifull movie - photography, artwork, design, scenery and above all - screenplay. This is truely work of Terry Gilliam's "sick mind" (I hope people understand me clearly - it's a good thing!). I guess it's a movie, when Terry could make his movie from start, to the end, because... it's not Hollywood production.... Yes, you can shout; "there is no enought CGI!". But, what for? The movie is perfect! I'd love to see Terry projects on Kickstarter or similar projects... Just because I'd like to pay him (see documentaries about Don Kichote production problems and especially history of "Brasil.You have to see this movie. You have to comment. If you do not understand Brasil or Monty Python - just leave it, please.Thank you, Terry! I'm waiting for another movie!

I have watched Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys (1995) and Brazil (1980), both of which I found very visually striking and with a good, engaging story. But this newer effort by the director gave me mixed opinions. A half of me says that the film has something wrong with the pacing. As a viewer, I was impatient for the story to really pickup but never really does so to last second of the film. But another half of me says that perhaps the gradual pacing of the story has something to do with the emphasis on the main character played by Christoph Waltz, who has been living a dull, mechanical life. Maybe the film is suppose to work in way that the viewer gets to experience this feeling. Whatever the original intentions of the film are, currently, the audience seems to be divided as well on whether to place this as good or bad. It holds a 6.1 rating in IMDb (as of March 3, 2018), which is fair, a 50 % on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, and a score of 50 on Metacritic which indicates mixed reviews.Though the middling reception, considering Terry Gilliam's positive track record as a director, the strength of the visual aspect, the timelessness of the questions it asks, and generally the sense of ambiguity, The Zero Theorem is the looks like the kind of movie that can garner more appreciation through the years. But like the main character, Qohen, it has to prove the seemingly unprovable as of now and be able to connect and grow with its audience. A rewatch of the movie can get this started.

The Zero Theorem Do you enjoy being just a little lost throughout a whole movie? Or maybe you're one of those people who watches a movie just to see how many times you will say "What is going on?" before the film's end. If you have answered yes to any of these questions above then The Zero Theorem is just for you! This odd, and sometimes hard to follow, sci-fi flick showcases what seems to be a fairly realistic, yet morbid representation of the future. The main character, Qohen Leth, is a peculiar, lonely man living in an old abandoned church in the middle of the city. Qohen struggles with many problems like a fear of compassion, lack of friends, and an obsession to solve the Zero Theorem, which he believes will help answer his questions on the purpose of life. While fighting to solve this problem, Qohen meets a girl, a VR cam-girl that is, that has strangely fallen for him. Despite his efforts to repel her, this young lady is determined to make Qohen her own. Other characters come and go within the span of this movie but none leave their mark. The character appearances, and plot points in general, all seem to come up at random and while that may be part of the chaotic theme of this movie, it makes for a mildly inconsistent plot. I will give credit where credit is due and say that this movie delivers a great score that will make you question whether the sounds you are hearing are coming from the television or the rats in your room that only come out for a pizza crust. My favorite part of the movie were the parallels and references to today's world on mass population drugging as far as pharmaceuticals go. Statements are made about internet censorship and government monitoring as well. All in all, The Zero Theorem isn't a bad movie. The performances were mediocre to say the least. This role is an odd one for Mr. Waltz but he handled itwell, though I question what about this role sparked his or Damon's interest. As far as the story goes, I can't say I liked it very much. Certain elements of the plot were intriguing and thought provoking but the space in between those moments did not flow enough to keep me interested. So, if you ever see this movie playing on TV or it pops in your "Netflix recommends for you" go ahead and check it out for an interesting viewing experience.

Saying that this is a Terry Gilliam film tells you a lot about what to expect: offbeat and sometimes downright weird visuals, nonlinear dialog, an obscure plot (if there even is one). Not to everyone's taste though.Qohen (Christoph Waltz) has been tasked by Management (a barely recognizable Matt Damon, who's certainly an odd choice for a Terry Gilliam script -- he's just too down-to-earth) to prove the Zero Theorem, which means that everything there is will add up ultimately to nothing. Working on the 'proof' seems to consist of a video-game-gone-wild where he must move blocks of preset equations around in a vast landscape of similar blocks. But every one of his attempts just ends in frustration and feeds his natural tendency to spiritual malaise and depression. Or something. It all seems rather aimless, which Management seemed to know all along. Young Bob (Lukas Hedges) drops in occasionally to stimulate Qohen intellectually, and Bainsley (Melanie Thierry) comes by for stimulation on the emotional++ side. But ultimately our hero still seems to prefer isolation.For the sets, think Blade Runner as rendered by a cartoonist on LSD. There's occasional absurdist humor, which is all in the backgrounds -- such as when Bob and Qohen are sitting in a town plaza where a phalanx of 'Forbidden' signs disallows every conceivable kind of activity appropriate for a community park, or even inactivity. And we get some genuinely arresting visuals along the way, such as the Virtual Reality beach of lurid colors where Qohen spends down time, or the giant black hole that haunts his dreams. These lead to a VR-within-VR fantasy scene where Qohen and Bainsley cling naked to each other while falling in to the same black hole.If you want linear storytelling, this isn't it. At the end I was left wondering what the point was -- any kind of point. The supposedly deep philosophical questions raised about life, the universe, human connections don't seems to go beyond sophomoric meandering. For the sake of the visuals though, I give this 5/10.
