Movie Review:Visioneers was a Strange Dark Comedy


Visioneers is a very strange dark comedy.  It starred Zach Galifianakis as Washington Winsterhammerman a level 3 employee at the Jeffers Corporation.  George has an average life.  He is miserable.  He is in an unhappy marriage.  Add to that people start exploding due to unhappiness.  George starts having recurring dreams in which he is George Washington and becomes worried when a doctor tells him that is a symptom of impending explosion.  As the epidemic worsens and his dreams don't stop, George starts rethinking the life he has been living.  I have been a huge fan of Galifianakis's work for years and I heard of this movie two years ago when he talked about it online.  The film was very interesting.  For a dark comedy it wasn't very funny.  It's interesting to watch this after seeing Galifianakis in The Hangover because the two characters he plays are so different.  The film was very well made, but I it was nearly as enjoyable as I hoped.  I posted the trailer for the film below.
