Review of Moebius

Moebius (1996)
8/10
An evolving mystery....(a sci fi movie without little green men)
6 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
A university math professor with a cinic vision of reality faces a mystery previously investigated by his mentor. In a not so futuristic Buenos Aires (absolutely real, with the size of NY and a huge subway system), Pratt begins a rational search of a lost passenger subway car; only to discover that maybe was always there.....

With an oppressive atmosphere, and without any of the obvious twist in the script that are usually seen in this kind of sci fiction films; Moebius rises as the most believable and interesting picture modern Argentine cinema offered recently.

It's Gothic surroundings, the familiar places (for everyone) that slowly transforms into a mysterious gate for the unknown; drives you gently but with fear to the answer: reality is not what it seems.

Made by film students, it's a great script and a surprising movie; the resolution may seem somewhat sudden and unfinished, but leaves a sense of possibilities (would you make the same decision than Pratt at the end??). It's a must be seen Argentine movie, not an extraordinary one, but any movie that leaves you the impression of having read and excellent suspense book (specially if you did it by night) is worth the effort.
