The Incident

I walked out of the theater saying, "That was amazing. Just amazing." My family agreed and we talked about it that night and the next morning, figuring it out, exchanging what we remembered and admiring the creative staging and story telling. I think it was well thought out and the story told well, surprises that I then realized were logical. I thought the acting very good, especially as the actors changed extremely over time. We were still a little confused about the conclusion's explanation, but I think we understood most of the logic -- it helped to have multiple people discussing it and remembering pieces. When the old guys start talking, you need to listen.

The film is impressive: as all films that rely on great writing and acting, you are thrilled that your attention is constantly captivated. Human nature is displayed without explaining the obvious. Shots great and you are prepared for an ending you know is not going to be linear. And yet, some inconsistencies remain and are all rushed in all together at the end. Difficult to say without spoilering, but there is one story arch that leaves you puzzled despite the slightly overlong explanation provided, and combined with the rushed through shots of other resolutions it kind of defeats the explanation provided, which would have been otherwise fit just right and been perfectly satisfying. As a film that remains with you well after you've watched, it definitely deserves watching. Fantastic acting and great direction otherwise.

Wow - I was greatly surprised by the idea in this movie.

So happy to realize it's a mexican production as well.

It brings an interesting concept based on alternate/parallel realities/dimensions, time loops and reincarnation...with its own new ideas, that add up to the genre - making it a quite original movie.

Since the characters are all sort trapped in a specific time/space area - such as in a maze -, it reminded me the super classic "The Cube". This movie really transmits this feeling of suffocation and forsakenness.

The movie is dark, disturbing and puzzling. You gotta follow up details.

So it's really not a "relaxing" movie. Same happens with "The Cube" - it really achieves the same atmosphere.

Acting was good enough - sometimes a little bit overreacted in my opinion - but when the time comes, actors are able to display traits of insanity in a fantastic way.

Such an event described in the movie can definitely push a mind beyond and make it break to pieces.

The remaining ones, the survivors, are given a chance to end it all...

If you are a fan of time loop movies, alternate realities, psychological dramas and mystery...you like movies such as "The Cube", or love Cronenberg's work...then give it a go - you won't be disappointed.

This has easily become one of my tops dark SCI-FI movie!

So happy I had the chance to see it!

The movie kept you guessing with an interesting ending. I suspect those who rated it low, simply did not 'get it.' An interesting sci-fi, worth the watch.

It's unique and creative but I felt terrible watching it the whole time. I kept watching hoping that the ending would redeem it somehow, but I can't help but feel like I just wasted two hours of my life in something that made me feel dirty and gross and depressed.
