Forgotten Experiment

The whole movie has a stilted quality like anime or a video game cutscene. This could have been an interesting stylistic choice, but instead I'm pretty sure it's not intended. Much of it is due to the bad voice-over. It seems the movie was made for an English audience (the actors are mouthing English), but I think each actor's voice was redubbed. Poorly.

Then there's the cartoonishly stereotyped characters, and overused plot devices. It's not predictable so much as derivative.

Buoying all this up is some pretty decent production value. Sets and props are detailed and believable, cinematography and lighting are quite attractive. And Underneath it all is a fairly interesting story if you can get past the god-awful over-dubbing. And the god-awful MacGuffin name "quantanium".

Really one of the worst encounters I have had. Acting is rubbish , plot non existant, graphics poor. Sqeecky female actors. It has nothing going for it. I can only imagine that this is a tax loss for some Russian oligarch or revenge on the west for recent political events. It is beyond bad and into appalling. I can onlt think that the script writers and I use that in the loosest sence were smoking something extremely potent and it affected their intelligence in a fairly disasterous way. My advice to anyone contemplating buying this is spend your money on some laxative and cut out the middle man.

When checking the rating and reviews, i really thought i'd stop watching after 15 minutes, at most.

It is not a technical high-end movie, it is often chaotic and sometimes difficult to follow, but it is definetly a nice watch on a boring evening.

Characters are recognizable and there are some nice twists in the writing and some twists that leave some opening for the audience to make up their own mind about a couple of things.

Don't think too much in high rated time traveling movies. The concept is not surprising, but not very often used.

It took some time to figure the back and forth out, but eventually it gives a 'aaahhhh' in recognition.

A moderate well B-movie and if you have some time on hand and don't want to think too much in difficult sci-fi terms and twists, it is a nice time filler with a cup of coffee and a coockie.

While lacking mind-blowing visuals and unforgettable characters, this Russian sci-fi offers a decent escape from the unwatchable horror of Hollywood productions like Avengers. It might not be a masterpiece, but it steers clear of the insult-to-watcher level, making it a sensible choice for those craving a more subdued sci-fi experience.

The film delivers a passable visual experience, not groundbreaking but sufficient to keep you engaged. The characters, while not iconic, manage to get the job done.

Ideal for a laid-back evening session, it's the kind of movie that's good enough to fall asleep to - a mellow alternative to the flashy spectacles Hollywood often serves up.

I generally like to watch any movies that have elements of time travel in them in any way. Even some of the low-budget time-travel b-movies out there can be enjoyable.

However this movie is totally let down by the voice acting/dubbing done. It appears the actors are mostly Russian and I imagine it was filmed in Russia too. The problem is, the actors do all speak in English but the voices we hear, very obviously, are not the actors on the screen. They seemingly had some random/generic American voice actors do ADR for the movie. Presumably because the Russian actors playing the parts had accents?

I feel like this odd choice ruined the film and really took me out of watching it. I would have rather had just heard the actors' real voices with their accents instead of this nonsense. Heck I would have even rathered they spoke in Russian and just had subtitles in English to what they did here.

Really odd production choice, I don't recall seeing another modern movie like this, and hope I don't come across another!
