I went to this movie expecting a nice look into the rave culture - the music, the drugs, and the dancing that characterize a rave and are the reason people go. Unfortunately, I found a movie that got horribly sidetracked. Instead of being about a rave, it was about this group of people - of 5, 10, 15...too many people - and too many horrible actors trying to be these people. I hesitate to use the word "characters" because since not one of them was developed at all, I can only call them people.
All the conversation in the movie was trite musing about myriad grand themes that should not have been the purpose of the movie. This should have been a movie about a rave - people should have talked about the music, the drugs, and the atmosphere. They should have danced and tripped and rolled - a rave is not a place you go to make a lifelong friend - its a place you go to separate yourself from reality...to meet people you will see again only at another rave, but each time you see them, to connect on a deeper level. A rave isn't a holy experience nor a time to reflect upon the meaning of one's existence - it is an escape - one thing this movie failed to grasp completely.
