During the first twenty minutes or so, it felt like a random pile of elements thrown in together to make effort to build some sort of a world; even if it was internally-consistent (which I gathered neither to be true nor false in the limited time I gave to the movie), there was no hint, no explanation given whatsoever to what the hell was happening, which threw me off immediately. If didn't feel like a "figure it out" kind of story where the elements are there and a somewhat-knowledgeable viewer can make the connections, thus reinterpreting the story into a deeper, more detailed picture, either.

"Don't strive towards water!", "Hail Coca Cola!" (which was something my sister told me about, I remember), fiery blood as a fuel... Oh, fuck off. Unless there's a new and prominent agrument for watching the movie appears - and I haven't seen any yet - I'm not going back to it.
