After falling from a chair and hitting the back of his head, Cory McAbee "sees the light," physically and metaphorically. He begins traveling the country giving entertaining lectures on numerous subjects metaphysical involving the "romantic sciences." His backstory, and the story of other "pioneers" of alternate thought, are told through a tavern interaction between a robot and a bar patron, and if you think that's a little odd, then strap in and get ready for 80 minutes of genre-bending performance art filled with dark comedy, catchy tunes, creative and interesting pseudo-science, bizarre corporations, and wacky graphics.
And you know what? It all works. Of course it's not for everyone, and some people will turn this off after ten minutes to race here and give it a narrow-minded "1" ...but if you like "weird" and you stay on this ride until the end, you'll end up like I did... amused and smiling, wondering about both abstract science/thought and whatever it was that you just watched. In many ways this biopic/fiction fusion is brilliant, but that'll be lost on those who need explosions or linear thought or romance, etc... I'm down with whatever this was and will look for more creative "weirdness" from McAbee.
