An ambitious sci-fi flick with a grasp that exceeds its reach. Student steal a machine that allows them to put their consciousness in other people’s bodies in a poorly-explained way, which they use to their own benefit, until it causes poorly-explained problems and contention. Good cast, good production, but the plotting just seems to have a lot of holes in it. They obviously wanted this to be an intense mindbender but despite the good idea and some occasional cool scenes it’s just kind of lackluster. The ending is cool, too, but again, they don’t really explain what happened, you’re just left scratching your head. Too bad. It had a lot going for it, but movies need to tell a story first, and this just wasn’t the good story it could have been and clearly desperately wanted to be.
