It was definitely a movie of our time. Still have no clue what actually was going on aside from some key plot points. But given its a Nicholas Cage movie, Ill take what I can get. There's a reason I watch his scholcky ass in movies, and its not for their mind-blowing brilliance.

There are some things in this movie that work, but unfortunately the story and dialogue never add up to much. It’s not clear why this group of people is in the situation they’re in or where they’re headed. What works is the great atmosphere, crazy costuming, and the Fellini-esque chaos of the people in the background and how they interact with the lead actors and scenery. Interesting for sure, but I wouldn’t watch it again.
