Because it was one of the biggest pieces of sh[it] i've seen thus far. Here I am trying to figure out what's going on as I'm watching, and there's no explanation or hints given as to what's happening. In my mind, I'm thinking the main dude is some sort of an alien or he evolved into something else after he took a bath in that liquid and i'm hoping that some sort of explanation will be given at the end --nothing. I got absolutely jackash[it] at the end.

So, essentially, to me this movie was about nothing. I could have watched an episode of Seinfeld, atleast I could have got a few laughs out of it.

The message is pretty simple: You can't mess with spirituality and you can't find it in an elixir.

It's a pretty cool film. Drive grabbed 99 percent of this visual/audio concept and has no story as well...

No, it's not just you. I usually enjoy trippy sci-fi movies, but this was all style and no substance. The characters and story were woefully underdeveloped. Felt like it was trying to be another 2001, yet was a shell of a movie.
