Review of Entropy

Entropy (I) (1999)
6/10
Not amazing, and slightly cliched, but much better than expected.

I must say that I wasn't expecting much before I saw this film, but I ended up being very pleasantly surprised. I can't agree with another purely negative comment on here about it, because I think there were moments of brilliance in Entropy. It wasn't an all-around wonderful picture, but I'm certainly glad I took the time to watch it. What's most frutrating to me about the film is that, as far as both writing and visual elements, while it could be easy to say for a great deal of it that it's overdone or cliched, there are also some great moments in Entropy that I think have been overlooked. The visual style, while certainly not terribly original, is extremely cool at points. Unfortunately, it's also a bit too aware of itself. At the heart of the film is your basic neurotic lover syndrome and that message that "there's only one person like her," but there are just enough wonderful parts in the movie that set it apart from its less-than inspired foundations, that I found myself really enjoying watching it. For instance, the ultra-realistic talking/smoking cat part. It's the little surreal yet somehow relatable moments like that that make Entropy worthwhile viewing.
