I wanted to see this movie due to my curiosity related to LSD, the popular psychedelic drug of the 60s. It was legal during those days and this movie was made after the drug was made illegal. The movie is someone's perspective on how an LSD experience might "look" like.
This is a very different movie with some really strong psychedelic imagery. The plot is pretty much nothing and the entire objective is to present something abstract that can be interpreted in any way. The movie just takes a peek into a mind that's on a psychedelic influence.
There's a genre of movies like Trainspotting and Requiem For a Dream which are known as stoner movies because they involve a series of events related to drug use. The Trip is a stoner movie in actual senses, the movie does not mean anything but it tries to recreate a psychedelic experience by placing it in a rough plot.
Watch it as an experiment, not something that will blow your mind but will definitely amuse you by the way it's filmed.
My rating-2/5
Oh and the movie is written by the awesome Jack Nicholson.
