The Scopia Effect

I was not sure what to expect from this film but I was pleasantly surprised. The cinematography is stunning. The timeline is all mixed up and confusing but I like that stuff.

If you like Mulholland Drive and films like Memento and Donnie Darko, this will be your cuppa tea. Not a cheap horror. Has a real Kubrick feel to it as well as other clear influences from the classics.

A challenging watch but well worth it at the end. Kept me thinking for days after.

If you are looking for something refreshing and different then this is a hidden gem.

For many people's i read about their review on this movie that gave the rate of 3 below. I'm sorry to tell you but you were totally wrong about judging the movie. It is in the sense that you need a deeper understanding about the topic before you watch this type of movie. because having an Older Age doesn't mean that your smart enough at pointing it out to be a not worth to watch movie. The movie was OUTSTANDING for us who understand and VERY POOR for those who doesn't even have a clue about life who just sits and face their monitor on the COMPUTER.

You can may be judge how bad i am in English but please my Grammar wont make it less sense. The only reason you can't understand an ART like these were because you're dumb enough and stuck on those typical life you have right now. There are many things the Movie that has given.

The emotion was mix. I can even feel it too. it even left me having some sort of unknown feeling. the thrill even gets me with out those annoying LOUD SOUND EFFECTS that most of you "horror movie lovers"-so called people want.

I didn't know what to expect from this film. And to be honest half way through i thought the same, but in a good way. Shot beautifully, a mysterious plot, the right amount of 'horror' elements to not distract from the film's arty purpose.

It's quite hard for me to put this film into a particular genre, show's originality.

Acting is commendable, some haunting and frigging weird performances that compliment some of the abstractness in the film.

This isn't a Hollywood blockbuster by any means, but the cinematography is fantastic. Bright but haunting.

Worth a second watch.

OK, this is my first review and watching his movie compelled me to make an account and write a review in order to remind and aware others to not to waste your 1 hour 45 minutes on this totally insane and psychopathic movie.

The first and most irritating thing throughout the movie is the way it is directed. The camera focuses on peripheral environment rather than the characters and it drives you insane too. I think the director wanted to make his audience feel the insanity the protagonist was going through but this has completely ruined and spoiled the movie.

Next, the story line itself is shown in a very complex manner which further adds to your insanity. Multiple lives in one past life makes it very difficult to contain. The acting is above average.

All in all, avoid this movie.

If you enjoy random nonsensical flashbacks from different eras for 2 hours, sandwiched in between scenes of a lady screaming and acting crazy...maybe this movie is for you.

I'm not even joking, this is what happens over the course of 2 hours...the "payoff" at the end wasn't worth the time. Picturesque scenes and sappy moments don't automatically provoke emotion - which was clearly the goal here as the plot was non-existent.

Well, at least it's not 3 hours like Cloud Atlas. A movie along similar lines which is much better would be "The Fountain", directed by Darren Aronofsky, starring Hugh Jackman.
