    Better Than Its Reviews

    Stumbled on to this last night and was very pleasantly surprised. It's one of those indy SciFi flicks that delivers ideas that leave you thinking long after you've forgotten the B-grade acting and production. (Movies like Listening, Coherence and the fantastic Primer come to mind.) If you are a science (especially if you like quantum physics) or movie nerd that likes a good think, I highly recommend it.

    Indie Gem

    More people need to understand what indie cinema really is. Low budget build on concept and execution. For an 80 min independent film this is top notch production. The notion itself is enough to generate interest. And personally the ending is satisfying.

    Delightful watch!

    I highly enjoyed this. Loved the bro-in-law cast (Penguin). The premise is one of great interest to me and i watch anything with it. This is really high in my book, of a quality presentation of ideas.

    The ending was fantastic. Exactly what i hoped for. Casting is great. Writing excellent. Direction on point. Give it 30min if you still hate it, it might not be for you. If you enjoy it at that point keep on. It's a great ride.

    A very worthy indie film

    For those rating this so low, I assume they either don't understand indie films or REALLY don't understand Sci-Fi. If you're over indulged in Hollywood lighting, settings, and effects, indie films take some getting used to. If you're not used to them, watch a few lower budget Sci-Fi films and you'll see why this one is rating very well with fans of those.

    Let the story take you, the imagery is low budget, the story isn't. It's supposed to make you THINK and have fun with 'what ifs' There are several cool films about these concepts, most well known, is the Matrix, of course, but this concept has been around for many decades and many prominent scientists have discussed it in extremely interesting ways. What if?

    Take the ride folks, it's fun. Science + Fiction is really, really fun.

    Loved the idea, not so thrilled about the result.

    As a fan of conspiracies for entertainment purposes I was really happy to find this film. The acting was pretty good and the plot too, but I still felt something was lacking from the film. Might be more enjoyable for those who already know about this particular conspiracy, rather than for those who have never heard of it.

    • Trivia
      Clarke Peters, who portrays Dr. Roland Fuchs, played Nelson Mandela in the film Endgame (2009).
    • Goofs
      In the 88th and 89th minute Brendan introduces himself to Dr. Fuchs as 'Brandon.' Fuchs then asks, "...Brendan, right?" To which Brendan says yes. This may, however, be intentional based on the surreal and cerebral story.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Brendan: [narrating] How many? How many trials will it take for this rat to run this maze without making any mistakes? How quickly will the rat complete the maze each time? Over multiple trials, will he get faster? Over time, rats tend to run the maze with fewer and fewer errors. Soon, they eliminate the errors altogether, and move faster. As it moves, it's creating an internal map of its world.

      Brendan: Researchers use maze studies to help identify general principles about learning and memory, and what they learn can be applied to other species. Even us.

      Brendan: I design games. I code. In video games, we come across these principles each time we play. They are designed so we use our memory to learn, adapt and advance. Without our memory, we'd get nowhere.
