El-Kanz: El-Haqiqah wa el-Khayal 1

Awesome, It's just awesome.

I'm really impressed by the number of stars in the movie, which made it one of the best recent movies.

Great performance from all of the actors, main ones and the others, at all of the four time-lines with great directing.

I really liked it, three stories at different times, interconnected, somewhat long, I couldn't finish it in time, it left Netflix... A pity, a valuable work, great Egyptian production, different from those comedies full of unnecessary machismo and slaps in the face...

The movie is great for an arabic movie .. i did like all of it except the sword fighting ... i found it more like unprofessional , other than that the movie is worth watching

Maybe it is unfair to judge this movie, before having seen the conclusion of it in part 2. On the other hand a first movie should work without the sequel or the continuation. In this case it doesn't really work that way. The movie is not bad and I get if people feel more excited about it. But I do think that there are too many cliches being served.

The movie has action and suspense and for the budget I reckon it is decent enough (again your own expectations will play a role of how you view this - no pun intended). It's a bit long and way too predictable too, but I also have seen worse, production values are really good - still I'm unsure if I'll watch the sequel

The story is very unique and new for an Arabic movie and what makes it even better is the well acting of everyone specially Mohamed Saad, first time see him in a serious role and he did so perfect. The designs were also so good makes you feel like everything is so real. The only thing was not so perfect was the make up so hope they work better on it in part 2 of the movie which I am so excited and can't wait to see it!
