branded is a mess. there is no scientific grounding whatsoever of the far out concepts or even a consistent logic with these concepts once they are presented. the filmmakers obviously hoped to coast on the "important" message and allegorical nature of the piece, but the lead dude has no charisma, no core (a historian turned agent turned advertisement guy turned shepherd turned crusader) and the fx look like garbage for the most part. the pacing has a strange lumps and overall, the movie has the feel of a cobbled together eastern European movie that is imitating mainstream Hollywood, which seems like an idea that also goes against the premise of the movie. we are told of an important romance that happens in the center of the movie, but we do not see this. i wonder if this movie is a tax write off. if you want thoughtful, real science fiction that has a sense of wonder and makes you think without pandering, go watch moon. if you a cerebral, trance-inducing sort of science fiction experience, check out beyond the black rainbow, although the piece is flawed.

My review is in video form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q008KYbIJIY Here is a summary: Friday night I saw a really good movie called Branded. The trailers (at least as I remembered them) didn't come close to capturing what the movie was really about so I figured I'd discuss it a bit with you. If you do want to see this you might not want to watch this until afterwords as I do give spoilers... including in the following lines of text. Basically the movie was the story of a marketer as he progressed through his life. We saw how at a young age he had the talent which brought him up to be a award winning in his field and then we also saw sort of a retired legend marketer playing behind the scenes against him. The main story was almost like inception where in order to make your brand win (the fast food industry in this scenario) you have to make the alternative (being healthy) scare you that you'll die if you go that route so you have no choice but to go the way the marketer wants you to. We watch that story play out and then it really gets good (with some bad cgi) where advertising has gotten so far out of hand that its an all out brand warfare where brands are attacking each other quite literally and companies are going bankrupt left and right. This really struck a cord with me due to all the patent crap that is going on these days, most notably between Samsung and Apple. I highly recommend checking this movie out if its playing near you. It's not your standard movie but not a standard documentary either. Sort of a mix of both. I really enjoyed it.

I saw the trailer and I saw the movie that the trailer advertised and it exceeded my expectations. Buy a decibel meter from radio shack, the volume does go up during commercials, even though it's illegal. The consumer based economy is a sham, beef production is a drain on the ecology, you don't need all that "stuff" but you want it because they get you starting with the cartoons you watch as a kid. The film is edgy and in your face, it's clear many people are offended rather than enlightened. The performances of Stoppard, Sobieski, von Sydow and Tambor are extraordinary. It's funny if you have a cynical bone in you body and don't take yourself too seriously because it does strike at the core of our culture. Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Duleraynare a pair to watch. A truly sublime film.

The movie gives a clear message about current marketing standards. It is one of those must watch movies that speak about the society in general, things happening around people about which they are unaware of. I would rate this movie more, but it was pretty slow and gets uninteresting in the middle. But by the end of it, you have something to think about and relate to the stuff happening around you. As for the movie itself, it is one of those "Dark" movies where you find yourself losing the appeal for the movie as it continues. But surely, characters have been sensibly selected and over all dialogue delivery is good too. However, it lacks witty dialogues which I was looking forward too seeing the trailers.

Branded, no need to tell you who starred in this movie you won't no who they are anyway, is set in the future where corporation branding has talking over the desire of the people to influence people to buy their products. One man is able to see the truth and he is trying to stop the manipulation of the corporations. You may have seen the trailers for this movie and thought that looks king of interesting. Well don't be fooled because it is not. This movie is so bad I can't even find the proper words to describe it. The movie drags on for about an hour and half before it actually get to plot of the movie. This is a DVD movie that by some miracle made it into theaters and took away two hours of my life that I will never get back. Film makers these days need to stop trying teach us about how bad the world is in a subliminal way. If you want to teach me something just make a documentary. All we want to do is escape really for two hours and have a good time. No shields for this peace crap movie See more reviews at: http://reelknights.blogspot.com/

This movie sucked. Do not waste your money on it. I was thoroughly disappointed. The commercial for the movie shows you the best and only good few minutes of the film and makes you think that it's going to be awesome and interesting. The person who created this movie had to be high as hell, and it wasn't the type of high which helped them to make something fun and creative. The movie was poorly constructed. I waited the whole first half of the movie for something interesting to happen, when something happened it was an extremely poor concept. This movie has no deep plot or scheme behind it and it has absolutely nothing. It barely makes sense... In short, save your money and time. Nothing happens, and the commercials for the film describe an entirely different concept. If you're a SCI-FI fan, this movie will have absolutely nothing for you except a few poor animations.

I'll give one star to the general concept. But overall, i'd rather have just left and seen another movie. Story was very long and drawn out, there was a narrator for half the movie and it was terrible. You don't really see him start seeing the "world" for how it is until close to the end. He only starts seeing these things (which can be called our desires) because he sacrificed a red cow because it came to him in a dream to do so. I honestly have no idea how that went to theaters in the first place. The trailer to the movie makes it seem like a completely different thing than what it really is. Most of the clips from the trailer are either pointless scenes in the movie or things that really were not dramatic. Disappointing.

I didn't expect much of the movie, seemed like one of those film festival pieces of crap. But it really wasn't. Yes there is a certain amount of artsy-fartsy stuff put in there but that fits quite nicely. I actually watched the whole movie. To me that says something. These days most of what's new isn't or great concepts are horribly executed (and Hollywood is only remaking stuff lately). Because of that I often find myself trying to do something else while the movie is still going. That didn't happen this time. I also kinda hope this movie serves as a bit of an eyeopener, there are places where advertising is actually banned or at least from public places mainly the streets. Makes you feel peaceful being or even seeing such a place especially if you are used to be bombarded with all sorts of advertisements all day and everywhere. BTW: I didn't even have subs for the Russian parts, still very watchable. BTW: Leelee Sobieski, doesn't she look a lot look Helen Hunt (but younger)!?

We arrived too late for the movie that we intended to see, so we went to see this one instead. Knew nothing about it. My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. It has a bit of everything in it, that kept us both engaged throughout. The movie was visually rich. At first when the visuals of the brands appeared, it was a little confusing and the organisms were a little weird to look at, but over time you began to see what the filmmaker was doing to build the understanding of what Misha saw. All in all, I thought it was well-done and gave us both a lot to think and talk about afterward. I recommend this movie. It is a very original story.
