1 hour wasted watching a screen not worth watching - Listening would have been enough. Hence this review, to help others not make the same mistake. Also: NOT just about Sumeria, but instead a HotchPotch of several Finds worldwide, which have nothing to do with each other. Many YT channels offer far better content, and make the actual effort to add meaningful visuals. To make such an hour long visual drag of finds in 2025 is not funny. IF you look at what they produce otherwise, you now know what to avoid in the future. As mentioned, not boring per-se, but it is to WATCH it is. It is certainly interesting to just listen to this while assembling your ikea shelf (or Vimana-Model) a better use of your time.

After watching this movie do yourself the favor to complete your knowledge by watching the 8minute speech right at the top of his website DavidTait com which he gave on behalf of the NSPCC in 2012 (way before the film was made) There you get the chilling story directly from the man who lived through it. And finally end with reading about how the NSPCC helps children in many ways possible.

May many be inspired to spread the word, or even join to help this cause - there are many possible ways.

(btw his YT channel 'David Tait' has only 350 subscribers, why? And this movie just 14 reviews, wow - even really bad B movies about purple zombie frogs have more reviews - shows who inconvenient the topic is for most people, and how important organizations like above truly are)

..but I enjoyed watching this little movie: First off, of course the narrative is known sort of (Dangers of AI) but, if you resist watching Spoiler-Trailers or reading Spoilers you'll enjoy the enfolding of an interesting Story + quirky characters, which will leave you thinking afterwards.

With a (perhaps) comparably quite low budget (*) Rain Rannu managed to create a modern mix between Mary Shelleys' Frankenstein aka "The Modern Prometheus", Roman Polanskis' Dance of the Vampires and Johann Wolfgang von Goethes' The Sorcerer's Apprentice" ("Der Zauberlehrling") which all strangely fit our nowadays Ai dilemma although all above written 200y earlier.

Coming across a bit slow at times I'd have wished for a more dynamic, accelerating storyline with maybe a bit more twisted plot, but the fabulous 'lost places' like setting in the (presumably) Estonian or somewhere Baltic Cold- or II War Bunker and the great landscape.

Make sure you don't miss the epilogue of Jaan Tallinn, who is an Estonian billionaire computer programmer and investor known for the development of Skype and file-sharing application FastTrack/Kazaa.

(*I simply assume it was only a low budget necessary with 1 derelict bunker in the woods, 1 Tent, 2 Server Racks, 2 Drones and 10 actors ;) nevertheless and even more so, this is a well done great slow burner - just don't expect any Special effects or CGI, think more Theater Play, in a good way )
