STs is Part 3 in a trilogy people!


Watching this movie is kind of like watching the 3rd movie of the hunger games without knowing *beep* about the story. Richard Kelly made a graphic novel for all 3 parts and after reading the first 2 then seeing this movie I gotta say its really good and one of the most original movies made in the sci-fi realm.

...and this is one of the main problems with the movie; it should be able to stand on its own without having to delve into the graphic novels...
ST was long enough that it could have included info from the prior graphic novels had Kelly cut out all the preening and mewling [pretentious bull *beep* he had in this flix.

And that was a huge misfire.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the film is part 3 of a trilogy. There are 3 graphic novels and the film itself is divided into 3 parts, so the film is actually the second half of a hexalogy.

One truly underrated film
