    Still some surprises left

    When checking the rating and reviews, i really thought i'd stop watching after 15 minutes, at most.

    It is not a technical high-end movie, it is often chaotic and sometimes difficult to follow, but it is definetly a nice watch on a boring evening.

    Characters are recognizable and there are some nice twists in the writing and some twists that leave some opening for the audience to make up their own mind about a couple of things.

    Don't think too much in high rated time traveling movies. The concept is not surprising, but not very often used.

    It took some time to figure the back and forth out, but eventually it gives a 'aaahhhh' in recognition.

    A moderate well B-movie and if you have some time on hand and don't want to think too much in difficult sci-fi terms and twists, it is a nice time filler with a cup of coffee and a coockie.

    Better than the rating suggests

    With due respect, enough with the 'give everything you don't like a 1-star rating' ... it does not do this movie justice. Did they even watch the movie? I've given my share of 1's ... this movie is FAR from that. OK, not a theater-level film, but it is closer to that than a 1!

    So, credit where due. The first thing is the camera and scenery work: the crew obviously really knew what they were doing. Pretty good direction too; some of the shot setups were creative and kept the audience focused. The acting was spot on, to a cooky kind of script.

    So it is a cooky story, but did not have any big holes. It is SciFi so a certain amount of suspension of disbelief is required, but nothing this movie doesn't handle very well. In fact if I were into the genre I would likely have rated this higher.

    This one is well worth the time.

    Mind-bending sci-fi on a budget

    I have no idea why all the hate. I enjoyed this movie a lot and was very interested right up until the satisfying end. I watch a ridiculous amount of sci-fi and half of it is indie. I would normally give this a 6.5 but due to all the unfounded hate, I gave it a 7.

    The Plot: It starts with a Tony Stark-type person and crew on a plane when it crash lands on an island. The unique power source of the plane is stolen. From here it gets interesting as this fog rolls in and basically, it is like the holodeck projecting a period from the past but also the future.

    The mystery unravels as to what is causing the time projections, who stole their power source, what happened to their dad so many years ago and so on. There are unlikely alliances, betrayal, romance and sacrifice.

    I won't ruin anything but the story seemed to wrap-up like all to many indie flicks with a moral message and a bad ending. But then the movie carried on for another 15 minutes and I found all of it very satisfying and wrapped up neatly. Overall a solid plot that stayed true to its own set of sci-fi rules.

    Effects: For an indie sci-fi I thought the effects were adequate. It was enough to suspend my disbelief and I was pleased with the quality compared to other shows.

    Why the low rating?

    My guess is that it is a Russian film and they often get low ratings to start. The main actors were good but a couple of the supporting actors were cartoony.

    But the biggest issue I had was with the dubbing. Often, the voice actors who dub go overboard and 'ham it up' which takes away from the believability. I am not sure who to fault with that but would like a 2nd opinion from someone who speaks Russian and watched it without dubbing.

    I wonder if the plot got a bit complex for some. Movies with time-travel themes often get confusing. Tenet got that way in spots.

    This is one I will probably watch again. I would love to see what someone like Nolan would do with it.

    Forgotten already

    Really one of the worst encounters I have had. Acting is rubbish , plot non existant, graphics poor. Sqeecky female actors. It has nothing going for it. I can only imagine that this is a tax loss for some Russian oligarch or revenge on the west for recent political events. It is beyond bad and into appalling. I can onlt think that the script writers and I use that in the loosest sence were smoking something extremely potent and it affected their intelligence in a fairly disasterous way. My advice to anyone contemplating buying this is spend your money on some laxative and cut out the middle man.

    Better Than Avengers, Actually Watchable

    While lacking mind-blowing visuals and unforgettable characters, this Russian sci-fi offers a decent escape from the unwatchable horror of Hollywood productions like Avengers. It might not be a masterpiece, but it steers clear of the insult-to-watcher level, making it a sensible choice for those craving a more subdued sci-fi experience.

    The film delivers a passable visual experience, not groundbreaking but sufficient to keep you engaged. The characters, while not iconic, manage to get the job done.

    Ideal for a laid-back evening session, it's the kind of movie that's good enough to fall asleep to - a mellow alternative to the flashy spectacles Hollywood often serves up.
