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.

The movie was a visual treat for all the sci fi lovers who do care about visuals more than anything. There are 2 alternate story lines that merge at one point in the movie. The movie came out as extremely new, refreshing and with breath taking details of what an alternate world could look like. The level of detail in CGI and the mix of reality with the concept of sci fi has been brilliant presented. Having said that ...

Clearly, the movie falls shy of good acting. The movie feels slow and bland to an otherwise thrilling concept mainly because the script! It does not seem to be written keeping actors in mind, rather it feels like someone imagined such a world without actors and had to force actors into the story line to build the world itself. Hence the dialogues don't feel that intense, the scenes with monsters seem rather shallow and don't turn you to the edge of the seat, there is not much of an emotional connection between the actors. Deaths of side actors don't really seem to matter and not really heart breaking. The 2 protagonists are rather poorly defined / their background could have been explored further.

However I clearly see a lot of potential here. The movie explores a lot of dimensions and the concept behind COMA's environment seems rather deep. I would suggest everyone to go watch it. I would say 5 for acting, 9.5 for Visuals and 9.5 for Concept, 7 for execution. I highly recommend this movie since what it looses to weak characters, gains for the execution of story lines, visuals and innovative direction Coma took.

"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.

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.

I was surprised by the beauty of this movie. Exceptional scenery and acting was up to par as well. It's not inception and it isn't meant to be. If you watch this movie not expecting Inception, you're in for a treat!
