This Danish made independent sci-fi is quite the surprise!
It tells the story of a revolutionary new power source, but as usual nothing goes to plan and it puts the entire world in jeopardy.
Filmed from two perspectives, real time in entirely first person and flashbacks through a more traditional format. Though quite disorientating it actually works.
With a mostly unknown but competent cast, gripping story and SFX that are considerably better than you'd ever expect from a movie of this type I was certainly left impressed.
Sure it's not flawless, certain elements don't work as well as others but as a whole this is a very well made movie and certainly puts many similar Hollywood efforts to shame by comparison.
I'd call this essential viewing for lovers of sci-fi, a lot of fun.
The Good:
Very stylish
Some great visuals
Bérénice Marlohe
The Bad:
Something felt missing
Transitioning between first person and third person can get frustrating
