Everything is so unnatural in this movie that I felt impossible to feel anything for the characters. Every time the main character walks a few meters of do something on her computer, the whole scene looks like a carefully designed and choreographed cat walk, a commercial for Apple Computer or the launching clip for a new L'Oréal mascara as we get yet another close-up on De Gouw's pretty face. After 30 min., I was seriously overdosing on this regimen.
But that's not all, on top of Freene's cliched cam, after 40 min., the whole thing starts to lose any footing that would give some credibility to the story line and the script just diverges into nonsensical bits and pieces that are barely holding each other. Add Palmer & Seker's not too subtle ears drilling score in the background, and you get the recipe for that painful mix of everything - reality, memories, droplet induced hallucinations, space-time travel, mater annihilation, almost anything goes... We were spared the zombies. Good.
