Review of The Zero Theorem (2013) by Frankrog29 — 24 Sep 2014
The main criticism of The Zero Theorem seems to be that it lacks a plot, or that the plot is poorly developed. This complaint just demonstrates that movie viewers want a canned, straightforward, easily explained plot, and they shut down if they don't get one.
The thing is, this movie does have a plot, it's just loosely structured and never fully explained. With this film, Mr. Gilliam wants to challenge the viewer and make him or her guess what's really happening.
I for one love to be challenged by movies that leave the story open to interpretation. The Zero Theorem is not Mr. Gilliam's best work. However, like the director's other movies, this movie is ingenious and really fun to watch.
