Review of Possible Worlds (2000) by Pat W — 13 Dec 2010

Falls Victim to the Same Pitfalls That Claim Too Many Other Canadian Films.

Certainly not the same calibre as Lepageâ(TM)s other movies. The Matrix presented more philosophical questions in its first five minutes than âPossible Worldsâ? did for its whole ninety-two minutes. I donâ(TM)t need gunfights and explosions but there was an odd choice of perspective that failed to capture the intrigue of such great subject matter. There are definitely some intellectual elements that stir up curiosity but you can get that from reading a newspaper article also. Once the movie is done you feel as if youâ(TM)ve been told a story that occurred along side something even more fascinating but itâ(TM)s only mentioned as a side note. It would be like your friend telling you a story about finding a corpse in his rosebush but only telling you about how the rosebush was affected. It almost seemed that the plot had to be simplified so as not to lose the viewer. It should have been even more mysterious and the lead should have been much more passionate considering the type of story it is telling. It is frustrating to see such a good concept get tripped up by such a typical flaw of Canadian films â" slow pace and blunted acting.
