When surveying the blockbuster landscape of the multiplexes today, everyone seems obsessed with multiverses. Rather than being invested in the scientific and philosophical ramifications of such ideas, studios and moviegoers are more interested in maximising profits for intellectual properties.

Wheatley’s Bulk spits in the face of such cynical ventures and presents a gloriously madcap plunge into the unknown. Our protagonist Corey Harlan, a cool cat in the mould of Bogart or Belmondo, is thrust into a complex web of mystery surrounding elusive scientist Anton Chambers. His experiments with string theory have gone too far, exploding and breaking down the dimensions of reality. All Harlan has to do is find Chambers and stop the end of existence as we know it.

This is a lo-fi odyssey to behold, and not to be missed on the big screen. Starring Sam Riley, Alexandra Maria Lara, Noah Taylor and Mark Monero.

Ben Wheatley will take part in a Q&A after the film to explain himself.
