Watched: Uncertainty

There's definitely some cool visual stuff going on, and I'll give them points for consistency, but at the end of the day this is one of those movies where a MAJOR plotline could easily be solved in five minutes, rendering most of the film unnecessary and forced. This always drives me crazy.

Still, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is always nice to watch, and his costar, Lynn Collins, was also pretty good. Looking at Collin's IMDB page is kind of weird, because she's actually been in a lot of stuff that I've seen (True Blood, 13 Going on 30, 50 First Dates... The Lake House [oh, the shame!]) and yet there are only a few credits I remember her from (The Merchant of Venice, she did a great Portia, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a terrible movie which she didn't really have a lot of oppurtunity to improve).

Anyway, the choice is between green or yellow, mundane or surreal, dangerous or safe. That may be part of the problem; the movie feels lopsided because the dangerous side of the story feels forced while the safer side of the story is more natural, but less compelling. Ah well. JGL.
