10 More Sci-Fi Movies That NOBODY Understands
3. The Nines
Which of these three Ryan Reynolds is maybe God?
This is the question posed by The Nines, a surreal metaphysical sci-fi which will need at least the titular number of viewings to unpack and make some sense of.
Following a triumvirate of protagonists, each played by Deadpool himself, this strange drama can be read as a satire of Hollywood, an existential tract, or a thrilling search for meaning in an increasingly atomized world. One's an actor, another is a writer, and another is either a designer or a god, but none come away with any answers about their existence by the end of this one.
Interpretations abound, but there are no easy answers provided by this complex film from Go and (bizarrely) Charlie's Angels screenwriter John August.
