The film tells the story of two good friends who live together, Andrew, an agoraphobic travel agent who works from his home, and Dave, a loser who works in an office where he is treated with contempt. Just when it seems things can't get any worse for the two, the entire world outside of their house disappears and is replaced with an endless white void.

I'm giving my opinion because I wanted Nothing to be good. I even expected it to be, based on the premises, and on the maker's previous work (I love Cube.) Unfortunately. the original idea quickly turns into an unoriginal comedy reminiscent of the 1930s, relying on a pair of nasty, very unlikeable jerks putting themselves into more and more trouble. As a result, we do want them to disappear, and quick. They are not funny, they are annoying. I can't project myself into the nothing, because everything my 2 proxies do is completely stupid, way more stupid than anything I would do myself (for I actually am a nice guy, when the Moon is not full).I believe the writer should have used the same idea with 2 human beings, instead of 2 caricatures. He could have kept it a comedy, but add some drama to it. He should have done something to make us feel involved, instead of just curious. Otherwise, the movie is technically very good.
I chanced upon this movie because I had a free non-new release from Blockbuster and needed to grab something quickly, as the store was getting ready to close for the evening. The plain white cover and title intrigued me. I'm a (relatively speaking) "old" lady and my son is a young man of 30. I adore movies that are sheer entertainment, such as The Sixth Sense, Interview With A Vampire, Harry Potter and Beetlejuice. My son, on the other hand, is a film graduate and enjoys very specialized foreign films, such as those directed by Bergman or Hertzog. We generally hate each other's movie choices, HOWEVER, we both watched and LOVED the movie NOTHING! It was unlike any movie we'd ever seen before. We're both cynical/critical personality types and we usually crack on movies while we watch them -- but in this case we just laughed and enjoyed the film from start to finish. It is our opinion that if this movie had been promoted and shown in the main stream theaters in the U.S. it would have done very well indeed.
world of nothingness. could be boring. how can interesting event happen without people and everything ? but this movie has music video style directing (which will amuse our eyes) well done script (writer knows right timing when new event should happen, probably he was a very good student in his writing class) and good ending. although this movie has many good qualities... what i thought after watching movie was "hmm, this movie is a little bit boring" and i thought "why this movie is boring ? everything seems perfect". exactly 1 min 22 seconds later... i realized why. this movie lacks funny(interesting) dialogs. i mean, two guys remained in the world of nothingness are in same situation as stand-up comedians. they have to entertain audience without anything. they talk too much because talking is one of things they only can do. sadly, they are just boring, normal people. people who watch this movie may wish that two guys remained in the world of nothingness are jerry seinfeld and george costanza. rather than our neighbor, friend, colleagues, classmate, Andrew and David.
I love this movie. My friend Marcus and I were browsing the local Hastings because we had an urge to rent something we had never seen before and stumbled across this fine film. We had no idea what it was going to be about, but it turned out spectacular. 2 thumbs up. I liked how the film was shot, and the actors were very funny. If you are are looking for a funny movie that also makes you think I highly suggest you quickly run to your local video store and find this movie. I would tell you some of my favorite parts but that might ruin the film for you so I won't. This movie is definitely on my top 10 list of good movies. Do you really think Nothing is bouncy?
