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.
