Quand une idee pas si mauvaise rencontre d horribles acteurs et un tout petit budget, l alchimie ne prend pas.

The aim of making this film is good but the production is far from that good expectation. I believe it is due to low budget. The questions the geniuses need to solve are always in our minds too.

Very low budget movie accompanied by really terrible acting. The movie itself, despite the actors and the lack of funding, really isn't all that bad.

The movie itself, despite the actors and the lack of funding, really isn't all that bad. It does ask some very thought provoking questions. Tom Sizemore plays the part well, but apart from that the acting is truly terrible.

The beginning of the movie gives some basic insights of how 'it' works. The end is more interesting ... I hated the low budget scenes (fake cnn, Hi8 effects, etc)

The concept of the movie was interesting and it raised a lot of thought provoking questions but the acting wasn't that great.

I was surprised that I hadn't heard of this movie when I found it. Now I know why. It's a great premise, but bad acting and even worse writing kills it. Tom Sizemore actually does a decent job, but the rest...
My Recommendation: Skip it.

La idea parece buena, pero muuuuy mal ejecutada... ademas que las preguntas son puras obviedades y los acertijos son demasiado simples (talvez para hacer creer al expectador que lo pudieron resolver antes que los de la pelicula)

Chafa.

7 purported geniuses (they don't really seem all that, though) get rounded up by the government to discuss the world's problems at the insistence of a disgruntled former government worker who awards points for opinions he agrees with.

If they don't get enough points, disgruntled will set off a nuclear device. Too many scenes of the G's saying things like "let me out of here!" Its a given that they don't want to be there, but wouldn't they be interested in trying to stop the threatened disaster? Not bad for a movie about people sitting around a table. After critiquing capitalism, some Christian apologetics get thrown in near the end, and then something about the Importance of Knowing Who I Am (and I wouldn't argue with that!) This is a passably interesting movie, though again, the "genius" of the collected participants wasn't readily apparent to me. I give it three stars for attempting to make a movie revolve around important issues, with no actual car chases or (spoiler ahead) explosions.

hah, how about not doing anything! That would blow the fucking world off AND solve all the problems, doesn't sound terribly interesting
