Akumulátor 1

Frankly, while watching I didn't understand the element of the plot that the characters get their doubles created in the TV world. Maybe it was due to somewhat messy English subtitles. Still, the movie was very, very enjoyable. It was funny and smart. The humor was well on the level of the greatest French comedies. Pretty refreshing after all the loads of cheap, stupid humor you get in American comedies where they would throw pies at each others' faces. This movie definitely deserved more attention. I hope someone makes a similar movie on a bigger budget and with modern visuals about the today's obsession with social networks. E.g. every time someone opens their Facebook page, their life energy gets sucked out. Such a "modernized" remake would be a hit for sure.

A-must-see for TV watchers - it's about TV taking energy from several people and about parallel world which ,,copies" of this people live in parallel TV-world. Very well-done (i loved macroview from inside of main hero's veins) and very funny.

This movie was a surprise to me. It was entertaining and it was inventive. This movie should get more attention, too bad it hasn´t been released in many countries. I saw this at school and it was taped from tv. Most interesting in this movie is that it has strange name. When you see the opening credits, you can expect any movie. The credits have kinda scifi feel to it. The movie is partly scifi, but it has many other genre elements.

First the film starts with drama comedy feel to it and then it begins to have scifi elements. After the first 20 minutes, the movie starts to go forward at fast speed. Visually the movie is inventive, there are close-ups of teeth and heart etc. If this movie would be remade in Hollywood, I think Steven Spielberg would direct it. Because this is an european movie, you can expect anything. I rate this movie 8 out of 10 (**** out of *****)

Starting with the title sequence you get the feel of the 80's Terminators and similar big budget Hollywood cinema. Then it wanders off to more peaceful waters, to pick up again by the mid/end.

The whole movie is a bit incoherent, as some shot types are repeated a bit too often, some only happen occasionally, the pacing is a bit uneven, the sound recording/mixing feels dated (hard to understand some dialogues), but as a whole, this is a fresh burst of ideas, youthful energy and just uncanny fun.

The cooperation of the father Zdenek Sverak and son Jan Sverak creates a strangely appealing mix of vintage storytelling and youthful effects-based bombastic blockbuster visuals that just work (at least for me). You have to be somewhat familiar with the visual style and cliches of 80's scifi to fully appreciate the references, but I guess most of it is so etched into the fabric of modern cinema that it should appeal to wide audiences.

Give it a go, it will not drain your energy for sure ;)
