6/10
Budget type movie with some nice ideas.

I cannot agree with previous reviewers of this image. This is definitely not a brilliant movie, however it wasn't that bad. It's not also good enough to give it 8 stars (in my opinion only). Some people gave it only one star :/ I have no idea why... The screenplay had lot of possibilities some of them were wasted some were not. Main character was really nicely played. It wasn't an Oscar creation but still was quite good. The best thing was the mood of this movie, a little bit in Donnie Darko style. It was dark, static and strange (however i must say Donnie Darko was much better). Most important thing is that it's not a movie for everyone. I mean if you are a sf fan with desire to see spectacular CG effects you will be disappointed. There are no CG effects at all...well there are no special effects too (even standard camera tricks). The movie itself could be a little bit longer and maybe (just maybe) it could have a different ending. After last scene I got the feeling that CD1 ended an i'm waiting for CD2 to start :) Anyway the ending was supposed to tell us something (unfortunately i missed it). However I can understand the creators, after all the ending wasn't that senseless. This is a kind of budget movie so beware of huge Avatar like expectations.

I recommend this movie to all fans of more independent type of pictures. I really enjoyed it. I'm also pretty sure that with more money (Hollywood amounts), little review of script (different ending and some more background plot lines) huge dose of hype (see Twilight Saga ;), better camera work (see Black Howk Down ;)and really famous director (doesn't matter which one) it would be a real blockbuster.
