John C. @Johnnygrocks Apr 22 Had some great visual camera scenes. And there was a stretch where I really got pulled in. But the minute the director switched to the futuristic train scene it all fell apart and lost me. He failed miserably developing what was supposed to be science fiction. That part of the story needed to be developed more in the beginning. It all felt chopped up and not much made sense. The director seemed like he couldn’t make up his mind what he wanted the movie to be about. So he tried to be imaginative with the visuals and toss in the science fiction line in hopes it would make sense . I finally got so bored, depressed and confused I had to turn it off. It dragged on and on to the point it got painful to watch. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because there was some brilliant acting and visuals.

So much is said through glances and the unspoken. Often, the staging made me feel like a voyeur. Then I was so captivated by a segment that I forgot whether we were in reality, the novel, or a pulp fiction. And even though it took a very long time (almost the entire film) before I could even begin to connect with the characters, I was still mesmerized by what I saw. I definitely have to watch "2046" again to fully understand it. See more S R @ScottR Jun 1 Another bizarre film from Wong without a good timeline in reference to other better movies. This film does have its moments despite its slowness and odd time reflection / narrative. Ziyi & Tony are prolly the best part of this whole movie and have strong chemistry. Other than that It was a tough run. SLC DVD. See more Alain E @AlainE 05/16/2025 I am not sure the story makes total sense, but the visual expression is unlike anything else I have watched. The director is in complete control. He uses the frame any way he wants. On occasion two thirds of the screen are black and the story progresses on the remaining third. He does like feet. There are a few scenes that we are watching for a few seconds people’s feet in shoes dancing or walking down the street. The image is full of deeply saturated colors, but on occasion reverts to black and white. Is 2046 the year or just a hotel room number? Unclear. And how the train that returns from the alternate reality ties with what is happening in Hong Kong where we are provided with historical events that actually took place?

I'm not sure why the raves unless it's b/c it was 'Something' 20 years ago- doesn't seem like it would've been?? The movie LOOKS alright, the set design is good. The story is meh. The pacing is very slow and methodical. Characters staring off into the distance... contemplating? It's just one irrelevant scene after the other. I didn't connect to any of them nor did I find them interesting enough to want to. I'm not going to trash it as people must've liked it for a reason. I also can't find what that reason is. I don't plan on adding it to my collection. (I watched the trailer for it so I was excited to watch, it just wasn't anything to it) See more Read all reviews
