I recently watched the new movie "The Master" and was totally underwhelmed. Instead of insight into the dismal cult of scientology, American culture, or science fiction, we get a succession of archly significant scenes that neither deepens the one-dimensional characters nor furthers the little plot that exists. This movie contains all the usual gaucheries of contemporary film-making: gratuitous nudity, a confusion of yelling and profanity with dialogue, an inability to say anything concisely, a heavy-handed approach to theme, and overblown, sententious acting. Save your money.
