ged_b Confusing. Eratic. Emotionally charged for long periods with a huge expectation which never comes to fruition. Not to relax to, or laugh at, or get into, or wonder at (except perhaps for what the heck is happeing most of the time). It COULD have been a dynamite film, but it wasn't. It hinted, badly, at a great plot, while bashing my ears with mediocre trancelike musak, while cutting from one silly scene to another in an endless (or did t merely feel like endless) cycle of nothing to nothing shots of nothing but what we've seen before.We get instant gratuitous shot of the close up of a woman's arse coming straght from another unrelated scene. What does that signify? Nothing at all!We get a smoke alarm waiting until the entire ISS is filled with a toxic smoke until it rised in pitch enough to rouse this astronaut from his deep slumbers, from which he leaps, instantly awake, to dash across the entire length of the station, while clutching his tshirt to his face, to get to his face mask/respirator! Ugh!? Talk about adding stupid action/drama to break the endless boredom and FAILING!NOt sure why I didn't give this a 2. I remember someone once saying that "a true bore is someone who can go on and on about something which is the tiniest bit interesting." and this film sums it up perfectly. It always appears to be on the point of something better, revealing, telling, informing, happening, and nothing ever does. Until the last scene which is not explained or examined and does not fit at all.Perhaps the book is better? But I seriously doubt it.

rolfesam Love is a strange film in nearly every regard. Its a movie that was made from an album from a alt-rock group that isn't exactly known for its great use of storytelling in their songs. It's also a movie that went basically without much of a substantial budget which shocks me as a film lover. I'm not saying that I think it deserves the budget of a Marvel movie or anything along those lines but for how well this movie's effects look it is a marvel that it could have been accomplished with a budget of a half-million dollars. The movie itself is a very disjointed and following a main narrative is nearly impossible, instead the film relies on emotional storytelling. it drops scenes in and out of the movie to produce certain feelings that are in most good movies. The way a movie works is that it follows a 3 act structure that builds with story threads all leading up to a conclusion. Love does the same thing but with emotion in place of plot. This might sound completely pretentious and stupid but I found myself completely engaged in the moment to moment actions on screen and the emotions that they made me feel. The film plays out like poetry, with scenes flowing like lines of ideas that are disjointed and yet share a shared emotion.Gunner Wright also deserves a lot of praise for his role of Lee Miller as the only real character of note in the entire film. The performance that Wright gives can only be called the performance of a life time. He portrays the loneliness and struggle with sanity that comes with prolonged isolation beautifully and I feel makes the film very approachable since you are not distracted by his inclusion like a big name actor would. You only ever see Lee Miller and never Gunner Wright in this movie and that is a joy to watch. In conclusion I loved Love. It was something that tried to be so much more than most dare to and what follows may not be for everyone but it certainly was something that I loved. The major flaws that people note when discussing the film is its slow pace, which is a definite flaw in the movie. Its good to take your time but there comes a point when things just have to start picking up, which does happen but not till too late for the damage to be negligible. The other flaw is that the story begins to become incoherent and impossible to follow after a while, but as I said earlier the emotion is all still there. I recommend giving Love a shot and tracking it down, just don't go into the movie expecting something on par with 2001: a Space Odyssey and you will have an interesting experience with Love.

pjhook1972 I can fully understand why some people have such a strong dislike for this movie. It certainly has its share of issues. First is its glacial pace and overall pretentiousness. Next is its visual style and story arc which are lifted almost directly from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Lastly are its technical issues regarding gravity on the ISS. Still, there is something about this movie that really touched me. I rated it 7/10, which is probably too high, but I feel is merited based solely on my own personal enjoyment of the film.To those wondering if it's worth their time: If you are a fan of hard sci fi (2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Moon, etc.) then I say give it a shot. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, but I've definitely seen far worse. Who knows, you might be pleasantly surprised.

John Morgan One of the worst movies I have ever seen.. Good cinematography I guess but the story was utterly incomprehensible and disjointed. I want that 86 minutes of my life back please. I didn't want to write a spoiler but being forced to write 10 lines left me no other choice. It starts out with a civil war episode that leaves you wondering WTF movie did I get and then suddenly you find yourself on a space station. The earth goes black and no one can even send a 1 line text message to the station to let them know what's up. Instead, apparently the only method of communication is video. Anyway, you sit thru watching him being terminally bored for about an hour and then bam.. He's walking around in some kind of hotel or something and bam, the movie ends. WTF?
