Control Zeta

I really enjoided this film, we are not use tu see this kind of film here in Argentina, so seeing it in the theathers was a huge surprice. We need more films like this one. The acting is good, the locations are really nice, and the story is was make this great.

The script is really really good, like Nolan vibes, I shows that the director is inspired in Nolan's work, but not only with a lot of respect but with his own touch, and that's of course the most important thing. It has something that is imposible to see in a Hollywood film, is Argentinian, It has Argentinian culture, I that's is somthing new. Argentinian sci fi. We need more of that!

Its good to see more Sci-Fi content coming from Argentina. We don't really have a long history with the genre, so its surprising when someone is bold to try. I also respect the independent filmaking mentality trying to make the best out of the really low budget they had.

The problem is that the script doesn't have much personality or intrigue. Way too many action movie cliches crammed together and stiff dialogue full of exposition. The plot inspired by Minority Report has some interesting concepts but it feels really underdeveloped.

Acting is hit or miss and the action sequences need refining to look believable. Hope this is a step towards better Sci Fi films in our industry from the people involved who seemed to have fun making this movie. Just wished I could like this one a bit more.

It starts as something mildly derivative, but the story has a nice twist which I thought was difficult to guess. You could tell it was in the category as "all is not as it eems".

At the time of writing it had a 5.4 rating, but I've seen films at this rating and I think it deserves much higher.

For me as an English person it would have been more enjoyable as a dubbed film.

There are female characters in the film, but they would have easily been been male, and vice versa.

Good action scenes, though it seemed that some of them were rather too obviously choreographed.

I guess the film has something to say about hidden meaning in the universe, but to me it's not really that kind of film.

"Control Zeta" is a captivating independent science fiction film that takes viewers on a thrilling journey through Argentina's cultural landscapes while delivering an array of unexpected plot twists. Set against the backdrop of bustling Buenos Aires streets and picturesque countryside, this cinematic gem seamlessly blends elements of science fiction with rich cultural tapestries, immersing audiences in a world where reality blurs with imagination.

What sets "Control Zeta" apart is its ability to create authentic and multi-dimensional characters whose motivations and secrets gradually unfold throughout the story. The performances are stellar, breathing life into the roles and adding depth to the overall experience.

Visually, "Control Zeta" is mesmerizing, with expert cinematography capturing Argentina's urban landscapes and natural beauty in stunning detail.

Overall, "Control Zeta" is a triumph of independent cinema, showcasing Argentina's filmmaking talent and creativity. With its riveting storyline, well-developed characters, and stunning visuals, this sci-fi indie is a must-watch for cinephiles seeking an immersive cinematic experience filled with unexpected twists and turns. Brace yourself for a journey that will leave you pondering long after the credits roll.

"Control Zeta" is a pleasant cinematic experience, in a genre that Argentine cinema hardly touches: science fiction.

But the philosophical and human background is based on the hero's sacrifice for a loved one at the same time that he reflects on destiny and the impossibility of changing it at will. As reinforcement of the central idea, a chain of events appears, as in the myth of Sisyphus, that leaves the protagonist in the same place and faced with only one possible decision.

I especially highlight the precise photography, which gives character to the story and supports the composition of the characters.

With successful performances, the duo Farisco - Medina maintain a chemistry that the camera captures in every detail.

As is often highlighted in Argentine independent cinema, it is common to "make magic" with limited resources. In "Contro Zeta" it is achieved with precision in the selection of locations, settings and costumes.

I only see two details in which verisimilitude suffers: the harshness of some of the dialogues and the choreography of some action scenes. Both aspects are saved by the rhythm printed in the edition and the very well distributed plot twists.

If you doubt a film that entertains and raises questions in the viewer.
