Review by lonker

After all the rather good reviews here, one is rather disappointed. The science fiction idea itself is great, and you can spin so many visions of the future out of it, but in the end it's just a poor and very long-winded story that loses itself more and more in meaninglessness. And so some German 90-minute TV thrillers are more exciting than this production. This is once again a shame, because the movie is visually quite coherent and some of the actors try to give their best. In short: a great idea, a less imaginative plot and a dramaturgical failure. Perhaps the film should have been shortened to give it a bit more drive? 20 minutes less and the film would certainly have lost nothing, but perhaps gained more liveliness.
