Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I rather enjoyed the comments of people who didn't like, or didn't "get" The Tesseract and acted irritated as if someone forced them to watch it. From the introduction - the explanation of what a Tesseract is - and how it can devolve to simpler elements you know this will be a different movie. If you can't deal with a different type of movie - stick to the movies you like - the formula junk Hollywood cranks out.How different was The Tesseract? Enough. Not over the top as other people have suggested if they'd opened their minds to it and not become judgemental. The flexible time-line takes a bit of getting used to and that's OK - I got to learn about the characters by while figuring out the time-line. Jumping ahead, backward and sideways? Yes - it does - but it works wonderfully well once you simply flow with it.SPOILER..................... The essence of the movie *is* the simplification - the devolution of a Tesseract to a single-dimension item - a line if you will. All four major characters are as Saskia Reeves explained to Alexander Rendel "We are the same" - and in the end they were. Each was damaged in some way and destined for a bad end and in that the movie didn't disappoint at all.Fate played out - leaving the question if one thing happened differently - what would the ending be?I've got to watch it again. And not many movies get that treatment.

after gritting my teeth of why i should keep watching this movie all the way through it, when i got to the end all i could think to myself is 1. why would anybody make this pointless of a movie. 2. why did i keep watching this movie. 3. the clichés where terrible.they tried to make this movie artsy, but the conclusion of we don't know what lies ahead was over simplified, and never left me thinking about what it meant, because its just something that you already know and there wasn't any new dilemma added to make the idea more complex.If i were you, and you were thinking about renting this movie, don't. if they show it on TV for free, i'd go out side and do something more constructive with my time.

. . . that word would have to be "ack." Too danged artsy, trying too hard to be "avante garde." Stop action photography, cut frames effects, more darkness than a barrel full of--well, darkness, and the pastiest bunch of people I've seen in a long while. Sad thing is, it's a fair story, with some solidly laudable acting (and some solidly BAD, too).Memento worked because it followed a linear pattern, even if that pattern was reversed. "Tesseract" leaps all over the place, leaving folks with that head scratching, pause-button-hitting sense of "huh?" Sure, you can figure it out, but do you really want to spend the whole movie figuring out time line instead of enjoying the film?Unless that's your sort of gig . . .In all? Ton of potential here, not much of it realized.

i thought that the movie was well made! i love how everything came together even though the ending was pretty surprising to me at least!! the flashbacks made the movie even better...i thought that some parts were confusing but everything clears up!! this movie was really good! Jonathan Rhys-Meyers did very well in this movie and i thought that he made his part come alive.......everyone did the same thing as well! the director definitely picked a great cast for this movie. the ending made the movie more real for me i don't know how to explain it but it just did! well that is what i thought of this movie and i hope that helps you decide to see it or not!
