2067: Kampf um die Zukunft

Not a bad flick, but not noteworthy either. The effects were decent and gave it a proper sci-fi setting. The Dialogue was wanting, and to be honest, too much crying going on, far too much! It is one of those sci-fis were you have to ignore the science, just accept the plot holes the inaccuracies make. The acting was pretty stiff. It tried hard and probably the effects were the best feature of the film - which is a bit worrying. All in all though, still gets a 5 for a Sunday afternoon which is a pass and not a complete fail

I found this a very interesting concept and story, ruined by some terrible acting (apart from Ryan Kwanten) and the lead character spending most of the movie blubbering and crying (even more than Burnham on ST: Discovery!!!). Also, the music score is absolutely woeful. So many bad choices for the scenes they were meant to enhance. Bigger budget and a better cast may have helped.

For those complaining about all the "emotions"... I'm quite positive that faced with the prospect of being catapulted some 400 years into an uncertain future world, via a big sizzling Dyson vacuum cleaner controlled by a super computer that still uses a blinking cursor and a keyboard, leaving behind your dying significant other, with no return ticket and the fate of all humanity resting on your very narrow shoulders... one would shed significantly more bodily fluids than a few blubbering tears. I mean honestly people... 2067 is currently rated somewhere between Super Mario Brothers and Tank Girl... Obviously "fair" is not a grown-up word.

So here is an honest review... I watched this movie with very low expectations having seen its score and read a few reviews. I was pleasantly surprised that it held my attention to the very end. I was impressed with the visuals and special effects. The "science" and storyline do require a modicum of suspension of disbelief, but remember why most of us watch movies... To escape from our miserable realities for a couple hours... So we can forgive ourselves for putting our Underoos on and just enjoying a movie every once-in-a-while without screaming for a full refund on the last 2 hours of our banal lives. As relatively unknowns, I feel the cast earned their paychecks, as I'm certain none of them raked it in, and I found myself actually caring about these characters whom I'd only met mere minutes earlier. Lastly I was happy I was eventually able to wrap my head around the plot without suffering an Inception-like brain freeze.

Have faith peeps, you can make it through this movie... And if you're not too careful... You just might enjoy it.

There was so much potential that was lost in ridiculous science and poor directing of actors.

I am a fan of what the Mothers of Invention called Cheapness. Science fiction movies, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, in which you could tell Godzilla was a man in a rubber suit, or see the strings suspending the rocket against the black backdrop of outer space. This film, made in Australia, is a modern version of Cheapness. The time machine at the center of the story appears to be a large piece of concrete piping decorated with blinking lights and plastic tubing. There is absolutely no CGI and only one or two soundstage sets. Paintings are used to depict future cityscapes. The story is disconnected, the script straight-up-corny, and the antagonists predictable. But, if you relax and enjoy, without looking for the lack of continuity, it's entirely enjoyable escapism. I really don't think this movie takes itself too seriously and you shouldn't either.
