It's the weakest aspect of the film. To pull off anything religious/
philosophical you need a really strong storyline and characters.
Stapling it onto an otherwise popcorn flick plot, bracketed by product
placement and Daft Punk, it makes Bridges' character look more like a
burnt out stoner than an aged seer.

In 25 years we'll have the 6D sequel. Popcorn will be popped within the
movie and blown on warm buttery salty air to the audience. LTG :)
