A near bewildering mixture of music, faces and technology, all linked in with a kicking use of neo slang that just begs to be popularised on the internet, pours out of the screen as soon as the film starts rolling. The problem with this is that it is very hard to actually explain to someone what actually happens in the film, you know, does the guy get the girl? Is there a guy or girl? So far as I can piece together once one gets past the wall of cultural memes it seems that a new social order is forming on the streets, made up of disaffected youth and high technology. It is 1917 all over again and the Winter Palace is your middle class existence, and the commies are your children. As the title suggests things don't go quite as planned, but who'd ever know? Evolution versus Revolution?
All I know is that I think I really liked it and will need to buy the DVD to double check.
Great Moment – In Seaworld where the performing whale explodes, a single firework shoots to the sky and unfurls the message "Environmentalism. Lol"
