It's just a shame that the script was written with a grade school audience in mind, and
a complete lack of substance to go along with it (though we don't know if screenwriter Jon Spaihts or Damon Lindelof is to blame).
For example, against both dualism and reductionistic determinism and in favor
of the pancreationist, panexperientialist view that the actual world is made up exhaustively
of partially self - determining, experiencing events, there is considerable evidence, such as the fact that a
lack of complete determinism seems to hold even at the most elementary level
of nature; that bacteria seem to make decisions based upon memory; that there appears to be no place to draw an absolute line between living and nonliving things, and between experiencing and nonexperiencing ones; and that physics shows nature to be most fundamentally a complex
of events (not
of enduring
substances).
Complete, in a rather contrived fashion, with his trademark quirks, Isle
of Dogs is style over
substance, just
lacking somewhat in pathos and heart, and while featuring the occasional hilarious moment, they remain few and far between.
