Undescribable Perfection
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
How do you review a 5 minutes short film in which nothing happens ? In 10+ lines, which is much longer than the thingy's script ? At least it is impossible to spoil. It goes like this: Pretty girl wakes up, pretty girl goes back to bed. Next !.She doesn't need a bathroom break or a glass of water, which is just as well since there is no such thing around. We have a nice white room, futuristic looking, with a black futuristic bed in the middle, a black futuristic window looking into space, and a not-so-futuristic looking white touchscreen on a wall. This room is 80% empty, which is a waste of space for a stasis chamber if you ask me. There's also a design door leading to a corridor, but Sleeping Beauty won't open it to check outside. Maybe because she is barefoot, whoever put her there having forgotten to provide slippers.Anyway, this movie is pointless. And in case you are not bored enough, you'll be treated to a series of mundane factories and power plants photos, with a measure of digital data corruption for added artsy value.
