UNTRACKABLE



Overlapping timelines is one the concepts brought into the mainstream American SF with the „Terminator” saga 30 years ago and despite its heavy utilization, it failed to produce a decent heir to the trone established by James Cameron.

„Mr. Nobody” tries to elaborate that basic concept by giving numerous paths that branch out from the single life decision, a young boy forced to choose between splitting parents. However, the number and elaboration of those alternative realities, as well as the similarity between them will soon overwhelm the viewer, causing him to be totally indifferent regarding every single of them.

On the positive side, there is some really nicely made sequences and production design solutions.

„Mr. Nobody” laid out a solid foundation, but crumbled upon the weight of its ambition.
