Never before have I done that. After spending the money, I always feel compelled to give a movie the benefit of the doubt at least for 100 minutes. But I just couldn't do it with this movie. I would have paid ANOTHER $8 to walk out early if I had to. This is a sad state of teenagers and college students today if this is what they consider entertainment. (And it isn't like I am old, being 30.) Sad that a movie could be made in which the entire goal is to blitz the senses of the audience. As someone described (strangely as a COMPLIMENT), you feel exhausted after seeing this movie. Why on earth would someone want to feel exhausted after watching a movie like this? I would also want to know exactly when the words 'artistic' are 'REALLY BAD' somehow became interchangeable. Just because a movie is bad or different, it is not artistic. Some movies are just bad. And some styles of filming have never been done before for a REASON. Because they SHOULDN'T be done.
