Review of Valhalla Rising (2009) by Ken S — 24 Jan 2013

LOLWUT?

I fell asleep several times while watching this movie and woke up to find that the camera was firmly planted in the same place.

Oh, I really wanted to like this for its dreamlike state. Refn takes the anti story thing way too far and it landed flat on its face. There are good movies that throw out conventions only to be made better by the novel presentation. This just comes off as try hard.

I am tempted to watch it again. Just so that I can be converted and be one of those people who get it.
