Hyperland

Watching Hyperland was absolutely thrilling. I'm a sucker for well considered special effects. I liked the way a new really was created. Specifically the scene in the "disco" it's hard to describe, but I try: Passing through a hall, the protagonists passed diffrend music sections in which grafic and and reality differs completely. Just one step from wavy goa to scratcy expressive dance. I liked the ideas of two diffrend world which the cast brought to life. I absolutely recommend to watch it if you're in to Si-Fi.

I liked the cast and the story very much. Will the world sometime be like in hyperland? Hopefully not. So: What should we do to create a better future? The film raises questions. I have seen hyperland some weeks ago and I am still thinking about answers, we do not have, actually. Very interesting.

Hyperland is set in a near future, where behaviour is socially rated and everyone is constantly monitored and judged by their peers. The great thing about the film is, that while it uses the dystopian setting as a part of the plot, it never only relies on it. Rather, it uses the setting as a matter of course to drive the narrative.

Very often, near future dystopias, especially those based on the over-exaggeration of modern social media and surveillance technology trends, somehow manage to stay behind within the public discourse. Hyperland, however, manages to drive the discourse forward, not only surfing a wave but actually creating it. Hence, the film is fantastic and very much recommended.

Finally something different than always the same boring, stereotypical end-time dystopias. Above all, the current reference - think of Zuckerberg's "Meta" plans - makes this vision so relevant. In addition to the very convincing actors, a very refreshing work visually.

Nice German production. The film deals with current issues in a not so unrealistic future dystopia. The story is exciting until the end. And the subtle details only become apparent when you look at them several times. But the obvious things are also implemented fantastically. A very diverse cast and even a brief outline of the meetoo debate. Very brave, but in a good way.
