Review of Eden Log (2007) by Marc B — 23 Aug 2010
If you like intelligent Sci-Fi movies (like the ones rather common in the '70s), you will appreciate this movie. The viewer is presented with a scientific puzzle from the beginning. This puzzle at first gets more involved and even confusing, but also traps the attention of the careful observer, until a certain moment when some details, some facets become clear, the outline of the universe in which the main character was plunged begins to take a shape. Still, the enigma is rather thick, and old questions are replaced by new ones, up until about the last 1/5th of this intriguing tale, when the main character (and the viewer alike) understand the whats and whys, the moral implications and their personal repercussions.
The movie is so captivating, that this viewer completely forgot that it was filmed in B&W. It's recommended for those that like smart (and hard) Sci-Fi.
In all honesty, I would have rated the movie a 95% fresh, but that is not possible. I took into consideration the dire landscape of today's Sci-Fi movie production, and against that backdrop, this movie shines very brightly, and nudged me to give the 100% fresh.
