Belgrade, 2074. Edit Stefanović, a psychology student, after failing the same university exam for the sixth time, decides to visit a dealer on the black market who installs a stolen military chip in her body that will record everything she sees to help her pass the exam. Edit also has a job at a scientific and social research company, in taking care of Abel Mustafov, an autistic math genius who discovered a formula that connects all forces in the world, but no computer was able to calculate it fully without becoming self-aware and shutting down immediately after that. After Edit sees the formula graph, the chip calculates the formula, and becomes able to "survive" thanks to its connection to Edit. It develops a parallel personality and affords her abilities greater than she ever imagined.

ada the leading man is my tpye
Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
kosmasp But totally different, because it is animated. There is still graphic nudity in it, if you'll excuse the pun, but that is not what the movie is about. It's about life and the future. Future in a literal way (this plays in 2074 or something and metaphorical, as in where do we go after our visit on this planet.The science fiction part of it, really does work, as does the thriller part of the movie. I was quite surprised to see such a greatly developed movie come out of Serbia. Seems like they are trying to get on that film map, which I consider a good thing. Always nice to have good new "players" when it comes to movies. This should be a start into an interesting new era of Serbian filmmaking one can hope.
Crveni Krst As a big fan of animation, I eagerly awaited to see this first Serbian animated film. Did "Edit i Ja" deliver? Well it depends...Aleksa Gajic is a young and gifted animator who is present in Serbian manga community for a while. I liked his work before and after seeing the first trailer in 2007, it looked like a promising project. Indeed it was decent from a animators point. Some said that the solid basic drawing wasn't reproduced in a animation cycle properly, and that the whole film looks more like an flash app. It's pretty true, however, considering this is the first kind of such a project in Serbian cinematography, I think it looks pretty OK, and the visual team can undoubtedly get all the credits. It is nowhere close to a Japanese anime, but even that took decades to evolve into a level we all know and take for granted. "Edit i ja" has a lot of potential for further evolution. Story, a fiction fantasy from a futuristic Belgrade is also a bright spark of this anime. A girl bonds with an implant chip which begins to awaken and become a living entity.However, the good impression made by the visuals and the story was ureutterly ruined by a horrible voice over recordings. In an animated film, the voice plays one of the key roles, since it gives a soul to characters involved. With a few exceptions, the voice crew ruined this promising title. I don't know whether the production team paid them low fees, or it's just the fact they are bad orators, the team made up of more or less famous actor cast sounded like a bunch of people dragged in from the street, with very little motivation and placed in front of the mike. No enthusiasm what so ever.So, overall, "Edit i ja" remains a good attempt which has a lot of further potential. Still, it could and should have been better.
devolucija This movie is absolutely stunning. The animation is superb, the voice acting is epic, the story is great and the mood and depiction of the future are unbelievably well done. The little details like an old man reading the obituaries in the newspaper, but using a large switch on the end of the paper to switch between pages, or the witty banter exchange that spices up a long dialog exchange, these are the things that draw one in.I was rooted in my armchair from start to finish. Since I'm "local" in a way, I understood the dialog, and I can honestly say the English translation does it no justice (I had English subs on, just to see how they translated it) - if you know someone with Balkan roots, watch it with them and have them explain the moments when you see them burst into laughter - there are no titles that can translate some of the insults or jokes. As they say - translation is like a woman. If it's beautiful, it's not faithful. If it's faithful, it's most definitely not beautiful.All in all, please watch this movie - it is worth every second of your time and then some. This borders on some of the best anime's I've ever seen, right up there with Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop.
Vladimir Pavlovic I couldn't believe something like this came from Serbia. The movie is amazing. The story, the animation, the design, the mood... It's thrilling! Before I start in-depth reviewing, first I'll say - thank god it's NOT a kids' movie. I'm really into animation and I hate how big world-famous cartoon studios make so many children cartoons, that on the mention of word 'cartoon' people think of something for kids. This is NOT a children musical, it's an animated movie for grown-ups. (Some scenes may even be inappropriate for children)OK, now where do I start? OK, story first...The story is fantastic. The movie never felt boring, the story really keeps you interested. Don't worry, I won't give out too much, don't wanna spoil the movie, so I'll just keep it simple - It's a futuristic story. It's NOT some Sci-Fi adventure with impossible inventions and space traveling action - it's just happening in the future, things are still simple, it's just about an ordinary girl (Edit) who is a psychology student and who, after 6 failed exams, decides to implant a memory chip inside her to help her pass the exams. She also has a job at some state security agency or something in taking care of an autistic math genius who discovered an important formula, but no computer was able to calculate it. Once she sees the formula and the chip remembers it, weird things start happening to her, and it gets more and more exciting. :D The characters are very good, and the humor is really great and refreshing for the dramatic and kinda emotionally-hard story. So the story is 10/10. Next.... Design/Animation The movie is pure eye candy! The camera angles, the colors, the imaginativeness... Really great. Animation is a combination of 3D and traditional 2D animation. 3D is mostly for backgrounds in some scenes where camera changes the angle and so, but characters and objects are always 2D. Which I really liked, cause cartoons sometimes can seem too 2-dimensional, you know, no rotating camera, just translating left- right, so that's a plus if you ask me. As for 2D animation, it's perfect. It was done by professional comic artists so it's no wonder. You can see that in some parts they increased frame rate with CG in- betweens, but the movie was made on a really low budget and was done by literally 10 - 20 people (no wonder it took them like 5 years to finish) so I'm OK with it. The design and backgrounds of the movie are fantastic too! As I said pure eye candy! Backgrounds are also hand-drawn which gives the movie it's artistic feeling and always fit the mood of a scene. To Animation/Design/Art I give 10/10. Music.... It's very good too. It was beautifully composed and every score fits the scene perfectly. There is one 'featured' song too (from artists outside the project), which was also chosen very well and fits the movie. The main theme is epic! (especially the version which starts with piano, the other remix is played in the movie tho). 9/10So all in all, it's a movie worth to watch. I guarantee you'll like it. Trust me, I myself was totally skeptical towards it since I hate sci-fi and futuristic stuff, and it blew me off!
