Review of The Cell (2000) by Stephen S — 06 Apr 2009
I am shocked at the 43 % rating this film has on RT. How jaded are movie goers becoming.?? In 30 plus years of watching film and art film when I saw this film in 200o I HAD NEVER SEEN ANOTHER FILM LIKE THIS ONE!! This film rates much more than 43 %.
Is everyone watching it on a 21 inch sony?? I saw this on the big screen and it certainly was one of the best films of 2000 if not the best film of 2000. I agree with other reviewer that I was very surprised that this film was not more successful and popular.
It is very stunning visually. The Plot was very unusual also. I saw it on the big screen and it blew me away. I recently watched the directors film "the fall" and really enjoyed that one also.
The fall is a simple film compared to "The Cell" Be sure read Eberts Review. I have never seen a movie like this one!! I surmise that people who lack imagination did not like this dreamy film.
The plot and action are really hard to explain and define. Its hard to believe its almost been ten years since it premiered. This film blew me away I will watch it again soon on my 65 inch DLP TV. four stars.
