Dream

No pun intended - and I am just riffing on the title ... or am I? Well that was intended for sure ... the other one too you say? I can neither confirm nor deny that. All kidding aside and confusion included: there are not that many genre pieces from Germany. So when they come along every now and often, I reckon we try and cherish them as much as possible! Which is I think what happens with this one.

So if you dig the idea, you may feel way more excited about this, then if you just thought it was a generic Science Fiction movie (from the US or UK to name but two). Of course having good actors in this does help too. The story has enough twists and tweaks to keep you guessing where it will end up (or is it start?) ... just sit back, relax and let this wash over you ... in a good sense of course.

Incredibly bad in every way

Over the last years, there was a flood of really good German movies. Sadly, this is not one of them. In fact, quite the contrary. I can't remember the last time, I heard such idiotic, unfitting and pretentious dialog. The story itself is uninteresting, illogical and ultimately leads nowhere. Heiner Lauterbach and Max Tidof are well respected and acclaimed German actors. I don't say they are bad actors in general, but in this movie they are. As well as the other 50% of the main cast. If I could change my reality right now, I would want my wasted time for watching this back. I can't believe I really sat through the whole thing in the first place.

Excellent, outstanding movie for people who has a bit understanding of the matter

Excellent, outstanding movie for people who has a lil bit understanding of the matter. If somebody is not really in that subject, than of course you wont understand it, but you wont understand it than, that you wont understand it. that means you just find it lame, boring or just stupid. you wont get it, that you not get it. it is like the movie "revolver". brilliant ! a masterpiece ! but only to understand if you know whats it all about. so its useless to have discussion about it. either you get it or not. if you get it, its a really great movie. outstanding especially for a German movie ! respect ! very very cool. reminded me a lil bit of the matrix.
