Highly Overrated But Still Good

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Possibly worst movie in history, no kidding...This movie should never ever have been released on the open market. It is actually a Norwegian school project made by a bunch of teenagers with a camera, not a movie at all.You are better of watching just about anything else then this. Keep away at all cost, I mean it seriously. STAY AWAY !There is nothing more to say about this "movie" but for the review to be accepted I must write more.

This movie is a real mess, the amazing amount of effort the cast, and production team must have used to make it is the only thing worth seeing. The acting is abrupt, and sharply inconsistent, all of the players seem lost, and confused, but at the same time they are trying so hard all just itching to jump in with the lines they think they have learned. Great use of special effects, they floating screens are handled like it is very ordinary, and nothing new. The story is a disaster that makes complete sense. The edit feels rushed, and really off with the out of sequence scenes that are repeated (and just as bad when the story finally catches up to those points. The story is a disaster, yeah I said that, and that is how the story feels, you have a bunch of very willing actors in Norway who seem to think they are speaking clear English, and what seems like a bad translation that has not been explained to the actors properly, though the fiction holds up sort of. (side issues. If you have a gun in your pocket it should show in the mirror even if you don't, and is it only you that doesn't see your reflection in the mirror, do other people see you in it with them?) To be blunt, I really tried to Enjoy this movie, I was quite impressed by the effort that the cast gave, it is just a shame that they could not have just spoken Norwegian, and subtitled it, this might have seemed less like a college production. The special effects and the tech over all was well done, and gave a real feeling of our future, so if you don't mind something that fells like it was made by kids for nerdy kids, then give this one a go, they really do try hard these folks.Jesse of www.Jesse.ca

After watching this movie, I read a review that was enlightening about how it is a low budget, amateur made movie. That makes this movie more impressive than if it were a big budget movie by experienced crews.I thought the video quality, special effects and acting by the two main characters were impressive. The plot was thought provoking but at times I did get confused. Now for my criticisms... The audio was mostly fine (I think there were a few instances of audio clipping) but there was way too much bass in the sound. I have my home theater calibrated well and the bass was so powerful that it shook my projector and the movie was visibly shaky at times because of this. The worst acting was by the woman who played Jane Scott. Her acting style was mainly just having an intense look on her face and looking side to side when she talked. Lastly, the SWAT team in this movie almost seemed inept at times. In most scenes, they had to get into position and were slow to shoot, making them easy targets for the teenage leading characters to kill off.Overall, I applaud this movie. It reminded me of the American movie called Jumper, which is the highest compliment I can give it. Those involved in creating this movie could become very successful with a little bit more experience and refinement.

My initial review was going to start with "If a couple of high school students decided to make a movie this is the one that they would make." Imagine my surprise when I then read the previous review and found that this movie was actually made by group of Norwegian high school students. Nailed it.The soundtrack is generic, the acting, dialog and overall screenplay values are that of a high school play. A badly acted high school play. Very. Badly. Acted. The camera work is amateurish and the editing is utterly confusing. I initially wanted to turn this piece of awfulness off within 10 minutes but forced myself to watch almost 30 in the unlikely hope it would get better. It did not.There is nothing redeeming about this work and it is absolutely not worth watching for any reason save as a case study in how not to make a movie.We now live in a world where a group of amateurs can create a movie (and I use the term generously) and have it distributed internationally on Blu-Ray presumably through manipulation of SEO. This is not a good thing. Don't waste your time.
