I'm curious to hear what you have to say about it. My gf better articulated the particular aesthetic as: "dystopian whimsy/grim Wes Anderson." Hipster bitch.
I wonder how something ostensibly oddball like Guardians of the Galaxy gets a huge ass summer blockbuster release & promotion while this is relegated to a couple art house venues. *shrugs*
The powers that be have to keep this sort of film out of the eyes of the masses or else people would begin to see the injustice, dehumanization, and emptiness of the system, man.
Actually, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I did not give it any analytic thought until I was through with it, which did make me realize I had seen most every idea used in other films- just not so many of those elements mixed together. I enjoyed that there were more than a couple "surprises" and that we weren't limited to a single moment of wow-ishness.
Spoiler: ShowThis is one of those "elements"...
A short and annoying primer on the business of show.
Business is like a greedy child.It wants everything yet craves stability and fears the unknown.It would rather grow comfortably fat on junk food than momentarily suffer eating broccoli even if it knows that it will be the better for eating the broccoli.
Apparently Meg is also show business.
PS Also there's the Jew's to consider.

No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.
The director had a career as a visual effects person , the guy who wrote the script has zero experience and the man who wrote the story is responsible for The Expendables and the atrocity that is the movie version of Doom.
If you are banking on the cast somehow saving it then I should point out that before hitting with Argo,Cranston starred in John Carter,Red Tails, the Total Recall remake and Rock of Ages.
Yeah, this will be real good.
