    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.

    I grew up reading the Bernstein Bears

    I grew up reading the Bernstein Bears and remember the books very clearly. Way later as an adult I was talking to someone about the books and they said the Berenstain Bears, which spawned an argument about what their name actually was. Come to find out there are a bunch more examples of this effect.

    The movie does a great job in presenting several of the Mandela Effect issues and their basis in real science. Quantum physics, the multiverse theory (the real one not that Marvel crap), the holographic universe, all these point to much bigger things than we can currently understand.

    I get why people can't connect to this movie, they can't wrap their head around the idea that what they consider reality may not actually be. That leads into meaning of life questions, concepts of God, and all sorts of existential reality crises. The average person can't handle that, so they freak out and refuse to think about it. Those of us who do question reality find the subjects very stimulating.

    I think they did a good job wrapping up the movie. There were really only a couple plausible options for an ending and they choose the happy version. I can dig it.

    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.

    Great movie about loss simulation theory and determism

    Wow great movie about loss and simulation theory . Loved it for the fact just like main character i suffered same loss and spend numerous hours questioning reality and still do.it may not be for everyone but it's worth a watch.

    • 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.
