The Zero Theorem Ratings & Reviews
- medinabelloJuly 22, 20255 stars. One of my favourite movies. Great actors and characters. Brilliant narrative with regards to work ethic and the way management controls you. Excellent story with subtle nuances. Good love angle too. Qohen is brilliant. Superbly played by Waltz. I've watched this movie 20 times because it is that good.
- Plexxor the Pretty Good1d agoI just stumbled across this Terry Gilliam and Christop Waltz collaboration!! It's not perfect, your girlfriend will still think it's Monty Python, so categorically refuse it as a Friday night movie but it's 100% Gilliam. The Autism, crazy sets without an inch of free space, and of course a lovely protagonist...We love it
- chrisl2477March 1, 2026I should love this movie. It's Cyberpunk. But I don't. It's poorly executed. Sometimes a great concept doesn't quite come together. And this is one of those times. The sets are too gawdy, the acting too off, the world not emersive enough. In other hands, it would have been great. Too bad. Two stars.

- ShmooflixAugust 10, 2025All attempts to find a meaning for life are unsucessful. But you don't know it - so, it can be sucessful. Art means to get you into some other reality in order to leave changes to the spectator after the experience. This movie is Art.
- randyanderson685July 27, 2025I wish it would have dove deeper into the since behind the madness but good move
- Mister ArnMay 22, 2025The film's characters and vision of the future really started to draw me into the story. Unfortunately,, the story was weak; but it kept me looking for more right into the credits.
- ween85February 5, 2026It was a good time. The end was lack luster but made sense. Definitely recommend. Shot very well. Main actor gave it all he had. Good cast.
