Creators: The Past

A movie that doesn't to make sense to exist; there's no plot, the script is poorly written, from character development to the themes tackled. We are often witness to scenes that are completely disconnected from each other. In theory, there are villains who control the world, okay? However, they are never introduced to us, we don't know their goals or why they do what they do. Throughout the movie, we are thrown back and forth and, to make matters worse, it's filled with a mixture of confusing new age theories, aliens, government, and religious conspiracies that, if taken separately, could have made sense. The director is making their first film and it shows; only someone who knows nothing about cinema wouldn't see the problems with shot/reverse shot, which is incredibly annoying. The special effects range from decent to 1999 standards, nothing is saved.

The film confuses the viewer leaving more doubts than certainties because many interpretations are ambiguous and only the second part will eliminate some doubts.

I state that i'm not a fan of the genre but this film intrigued me because I love Italian cinema. The film explores worlds of infinite resoures, space, time, air, earth. There are symbolisms, elements for thought on the nature of the world, of the human soul. The plot (perhaps sometimes the thread is lost a bit) is pressing, it captures you and ignites the imagination. I liked the scenography,the photography, the actors,the costumes,the voice actors, the music that characterizes every single scene (the final song by Dimash Qudaibergen is wonderful)..An interesting film that I would see again..

Terrible, poor story telling, incoherent, confused and bad acting. The premises of the story could have had potential, however due to the poor dialog, lack of character development, very ropey plot, far too many sub stories, the whole movie was difficult to follow and uninteresting. It seemed that the creators had a number of ideas, but struggled to put them together into a coherent story. I believe there was some sort of ending, but at that point I had lost interest and was hoping that the LENS would end it all. Unfortunately the time I have lost watching, I will never get back, but alas that was my own fault as the trailer did hint at B movie.

I waited a long time for this film, hoping that Italy could finally propose something valid and of a genre that it has now forgotten, science fiction. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the movie. While watching it I had the impression of seeing a badly made fan movie. Bad acting (except for famous actors), disastrous dialogue, amateur editing, discreet special effects in some places but still with that homemade flavor. This film confirms to the whole world how Italy is no longer capable of making beautiful films, except for a few exceptions. This is my biggest disappointment.
