Parasite Eve (1997)
2/10
Incredibly slow

I like slow and arty movies just fine, but I'm sorry that this doesn't qualify. I rented the movie because I liked the video game and the underlying scientific elements are the same. The movie, however, has an incredibly slow pace. After the first half hour, my husband and I actually turned up the playback speed, so we watched the last 90 minutes in 30. The subtitles stayed on the screen long enough for us to read them and the movement of the actors and the plot seemed to be the right speed. So I guess that says that we were impatient and the movie was tedious. I also think that the plot, while reasonable in principle for most of the movie, takes a wrong turn at the end and gives you a love-conquers-all resolution that just makes it too easy to win.
