Great bit of proper sci-fi. Not sure there were any special effects - more of a dramatised thought experiment. Production values pretty good given the obvious low budget. Without getting into spoiler territory, if you got to the end without any lingering thoughts, then watch/think again - I think there's an important conclusion to be drawn that many might miss.

And again? I actually forgot the count. Then again, I'm not the count from Sesame Street, so everything is fine. But that aside, the movie is quite the mind ... bender. Because you know let's not use that swear word. Might not bode well with guidelines here.
So while I only watched this once and can't tell if or how many inconsistencies exist plot wise, it is quite intriguing. Especially for a low budget movie that dares to feed your brain and keep you on your toes. Not everyones cup of tea surely, but those that love low budget intimate plays ... will love it. Or at least like it. One for the mind and the thrill ... whos' who and where or when?

This movie is not for everyone. But. If you like time travel stories and you don't seek constant onscreen action, it will most likely not disappoint you.
The pace of the movie is on spot, the story unfolds in a steady pace not giving you too many hints about what goes next. And when you get the idea of where it goes and how it ends, it manages to add one more thing.
The low budget added some restrictions but dispite of only 5 actors in the whole movie, it did deliver gracefully.
There were definitely historical inacurracies there and a few logical ones too. Also, the Czech language sentences sounded a bit off, but they were understandable and not too far from how they should sound. Kudos to the non-native speaker.
Actors were ok, they did their parts. Music was there, nothing distracting but also nothing memorable. Not much to add here.
As for the story, there were a few parts with explanations that repeated itself almost to the word, and I don't mean those parts that repeated for a purpose of the story. For me, the very last scene felt like the movie would be better off without it because it was just a visualization of what was already said just a few minutes before.
Overall, the movie was a pleasant surprise and I can only recommend it.

Great concept and idea. I thought the actors and the script was strong but the effects should be better. Since it's the first film debut from the director I did look past that and it was still good. This is an independent film and without a big budget it can be hard to bring those big effect ideas to the audience but somehow they managed to bring in just enough. Regardless, great effort and I highly recommend this.
