I succumbed. Well, not really - I actually wanted to see this film, as a devotee of 'Lost', and have tried to avoid any knowledge whatsoever of its form or content. It's interesting to try to get back to that pre-internet / pre-gossip state, yet somehow still hear about movies. I mean, how do you hear about a new movie?
Anyway, no spoilers here except to say that i did indeed like it very much and was not disappointed. There are other things to be said, but let's wait until we've all seen it.
The risk for the producers was that such a secretive film would flop at the box office. But, as it's already taken $41 million in its first two days, I guess they are sleeping (or partying) easily right now. By tomorrow (MLK) it may well have become the highest grossing opening ever. Star Wars holds that at the moment.
OK, it's not Stan Brakhage, but it's pretty good for a mystery/horror/thriller movie.
