1984 meets Office Space, too bad both already exist. Galifianakis is wasted.

Brazil, The Hudsucker Proxy or even Equilibrium all demand repeat viewings instead of this dystopian office drama. It attempts to be quirky (human explosions?) and poignant (an Oprah send up), but falls flat wherever it tries. Although the look of the film and cast are up to task, Visioneers constantly leaves us on the verge of caring. I will say, that I thought that the music sounded quite Polyphonic Spree-esque towards the end and sure enough Tim DeLaughter did the score. There's a plus!

This is a really weird film with some very funny moments. It is in the tradition of films like 1984 and Brazil. Zack Galifianakis and Judy Greer are both very good in this movie. This movie is not for everyone but if you are looking for something different then check it out.

the intentional mispronunciation of the word chaos almost did it in for me, i never laughed, however, i did come very close to punching my TV. other than that extremely difficult fault to overlook the quirkiness of this movie is somewhat of an enigma.

Really wants to be Charlie Kaufman-does-Brazil, and might have pulled it off - it's got great visuals, interesting character interactions and one or two brilliant ideas - if it weren't because its criticism of conformity is so ridiculously overdone (people explode if they're not allowed to have dreams...) and even stated outright a few times too many.

Good movie that earned bonus marks for an endearing cast (Galifianakis, Kitty and Sydney Bristow's sister). Cutting indictment of modern society, but as others have pointed out it retreads territory covered by far better movies like Brazil.

Great film. As it has been said, "In a just world, Zach Galifinanakis would be a movie star." His total commitment to his character trapped in this hellish life makes him and his story captivating and hilarious

A really charming, quirky, pseudo-fantastical satire of modern working life and commoditization of happiness. Hits on themes and tropes similar to Brazil, yeah, but the way this movie throws all the anxieties and insecurities right at you up front... its honesty is pretty endearing. The direness the brother character brought to his scenes was great. Directing is really competent, and a lot is said in the scenes with sparse dialog.

This was funny, but I wouldn't say that comedy is this movie's most compelling aspect. The united theme is larger than just the boredom felt at a life-wasting job or the emptiness in prescribed methods of seeking fulfillment. It addresses the malaise experienced by everyone who is trapped by the myths about how people should live their lives.

not sure about this one, it feels like a much less successful "Brazil." Had some interesting quirk (loved Mack Luster M.D., butter lube, chay-oss), but very slow paced and a little disorganized.

guy worries about exploding. Works for Jeffers corp, the most successful company in the world where no one is REALLY productive or happy..his brother does pole vaulting and George is envious of his freedom

Not as funny as I expected, but much better. I loved the way they satirized the bizarre, horrible ways that people try to buy happiness. And I felt very moved by the unspoken mission that GWW has, and the conclusion itself, but I don't feel completely on board with the way they got there. The brother character seems like a non-sequitur and I'm simply exhausted by movies in which men make Significant Life Changes by hooking up as if they aren't married. These are just nitpicks, though. Good film.

This movie was recommended to me, so I picked it up and watched it. This movie is quiet, slow, and lacks the emotion that should be there (granted the characters are supposed to be emotionless). At times the movie gets overly tedious. There was some amusing parts (I may forever use the term "Chay-os!"), but not enough to make me want to watch it again.

Either I didn't get it or Galifianakis is better at playing roles where he actually has more than 2 lines to say, I didn't like this movie.

Aggressively mediocre. I'm not sure exactly who this film is made for. It's not nearly as brilliant a satire of the corporate world as, say, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, nor is it as effective a commentary on the dreariness of suburban existence as American Beauty (and the legion of similar films that followed in its wake). The performances are good all-around, but there is absolutely nothing compelling about this movie at all.

A modern comedy version of Brazil on a shoestring budget. I liked the world and Galifianakis. The plot could've developed better.
