Coma - A Dimensão do Futuro

A truly groundbreaking visual extravaganza but the character development was pretty poor and you don't really get to know or care about any of them which is a shame.

The storyline is well put together but lacks the human element and feels much like the CGI; artificial but still it is a film for every Sci-Fi fan who will not fail to be awestruck by the visuals and for once the CGI does make the film and overcomes a lot of the poorer elements of the film.

"Koma (Coma)" is a weirdly watchable sci fi horror from Russia.

This is a strangely disconcerting watch. Its presentation of a reality bending dream world, is a little hard on the synapses, until you become accustomed to its quirky nuances.

That said, its convincing back story, decent characterisations and sustained action, mark this film out, as a worthwhile watch. It has a very subtle "hint" rather than twist in the end too, that adds a further note of reality questioning discordance, that's quite effective.

Definitely one to consider, if you want a departure from conventional sci fi fare.

7/10.

I was not a big fan of STALKER or SOLARIS both considered Tarkovsky masterpieces; but considering Asimov was one of the greatest sci fi writers I give now and then a chance to Russin SciFi

I saw Attraction few years ago and recently The Blackout and the second part of Attraction (Invasion). I had to admit; Russian FX and digital imagery have a very good quality; however stories are not that good in terms of intrigue and resolution but are able to take some old ideas and rework them very good. Koma (COMA) is another example.

Taking some imagery and concepts from Inception and The Matrix; this movie is able to be different in itself and quite interesting if you are able to go beyond the first part; which does not seems to make a lot of sense; some events seem absurd or unnecessary. After a while; when ideas are clarified the logic kicks in.

Not much can be said about the story; because it will spoil part of the suspense; but let's only explain that the main character gets in a coma because of an accident and wakes up in a oniric universe with strange laws of physics and meets a group of people trying to survive there; things start twisting after a while.

Sadly the last part of the movie seems quickly resolved and lazy written; but the whole package is still interesting

Everything was impressive... Except that the voice-over was a little bit cheesy... But guess watching this movie in it's original language would be superb..

Before I say anything, watch this movie. If you are someone who is impressed by the world that a movie built around than this movie is a great one. My only issue with it is they didn't take advantage of this unprecedented world. If Marvel had any hand in this movie, I could see them making a huge franchise out of it. Still, watch it. It is something you have never seen before.
