Sadly, the trailer doesn’t entice me all that much. Nor does the formulaic plot: the three ‘characters, unknown to one another as well as to themselves, would never have met were it not for…’ has pretty much been milked off (Inarritu managed to pull it off three times with Amores Perros, 21 Grams, and Babel).

Still, delegating your editing skills like this makes for an interesting experiment in interactive viewing – not least because it finally turns the remote into more than a couchpotato facilitator. And if you do like the film, you’ll never need another – this one’s different everytime you watch it.
