Coronavirus Conspiracy

Humor is one of the best unique qualities we humans have. It's a mechanism we can deploy to cope with extreme stress and to stop us for a moment from running around in a self-created virtual maze of fear after we get bombarded with threatening information we cannot check or have no control over and ask ourselves: what is really going on? This film just might want to do that.

Artists have always been known to point out developments in society and bring people some light in darker times. I'm surprised not more artists have come forward to help us like that with this Corona theme.

This film is full of symbolism and analogies with what is going on in these corona times and other themes. I leave it to you to make the connections I appreciate what the creators of this film were set out to do, and I hope more artists will step up, but unfortunately for my taste it could have been more open; lighter, less art-y, the meanings less disguised. The film pushes way too much and therefore lacks a relaxing humor that should help us to see things differently and it also presents small puzzles about themes to people whose heads might already be too full with unanswered questions.

All in all too messy unfortunately.

While flawed, this movie is worth a watch by any b movie fan. It gets more right than it gets wrong and shows far more creativity than any other film in the coronasploitation genre to date. Recommend.

First of all, this movie is NOT about the Covid epidemic, regardless of the name. At first glance, I thought so too, and for the first 20 minutes of the film I was trying to connect it until I understood what was going on. In fact, the film is about everything and nothing. About the way people react to good and bad things. For pursuing illusory goals that seem insignificant years later. That the solution to one problem is the beginning of another.

It's really hard to watch a play with two actors who are shouting at each other most of the time, but after the initial orientation it became interesting and my rating of 2 points finally went to 7. Of course, it's even harder to act in such a play and credit must be given to both actors.

If you manage to watch the first 20 minutes, you'll probably enjoy it.

The triggered people that are rating this as a one star without watching it are judging the name of the movie, not this fantastic sci-fi piece about alternate realities and the possible explanation behind the reality that we find ourselves in today. This humorous, insightful exploration of recent events slowly unravels the true cause of recent events. I was transfixed by this movie from the opening credits, and figured out the core premise about a minute before the big reveal. There are just enough clues scattered through the film to help you see where they are going on this highly enjoyable ride. We NEED humor and this topic is NOT verboten as a target to discuss society and conjecture about life in general and how we find ourselves where we are today.

I thoroughly enjoyed this from beginning to end and have purchased it on several platforms to add to my permanent collection of great sci-fi movies. This will be rewatchable many times because you can see where they were dropping hints all the way through it on second and third viewings.

First time through didn't appreciate as much as second and third. Mostly because didn't know what to expect. Once understood the talent of the actors to make this work, and the subtler parts of the overall script, found this to be very enjoyable.
