daniel-nys Filmed in a nice part of Belgiums most beautiful university cities, a great Flemish cast acts in a movie about parallel universes. What if you can change the past by sending it a simple email? Three student die in a protest, 25 years later a professor and his doctorandus try to change this event but end up changing their own future. The fantastic Koen De Graeve, Metteo Simoni, Robrecht Vanden Thoren and Karina Smulders draw you attention to keep up with the parallel but never returning futures.
Pandhalt A very sweet film grappling with the ramifications of time travel (or more correctly time communication) and perhaps concluding (hopefully without too much of a spoiler) that in the end true love (or is it?) finds a way.Fluctuating between the film's release date in 2015 and a projected future in 2040, the saddest part of the film is the apparent lack of change, (besides interactive chalkboards) not an alien in evidence! Acquaintances in the park live out various futures dictated at times by different hands with divergent agendas, solely through the medium of email. Like all films concerned with time, the film leaks plot holes, but still manages a semblance of believability. I thought the acting and settings wonderful, but the film owes much to a wonderful piano led score. And if you ever put your hand on some glass (even Vermelen), prepare for the pane!
fietjevdr I really enjoyed watching this movie. First of all there's the music that perfectly sets the scene every time. Then thete's the way the things are being filmed (such as the opening scene, nicely done really). Then there's the splendid actor performances.The details that were put into perspective. The fact that it's actually sci-fi but then again not. Emotions play the essential role and that's what makes this film so great. I was from beginning till end sucked into the different emotions the main actors are going through as if I was the one going through it. High quality in other words! To be proud of as a Belgian :-) Only one little word of critic maybe: why did the woman need to be Dutch instead of Flemish? Because of investments maybe...
Benjamin Declercq This movie is the debut of writer and director Lukas Bossuyt.Two scientists discover a way to send back messages to the past. Although they don't really stress the scientific point of view, it's still has a lot of credibility and you don't feel like you're in a science fiction movie. They soon realize they can't take advantage of their discovery.However they try to change what went wrong in the past so it could benefit themselves. Things didn't work out the way they planned. The end is unexpected, not the typical happy ending. I personally really liked the movie. You have to keep focus though because there is one character who is presumed to be older than what he looks like in the movie (Tom should be 25 years older). The movie is shot in Leuven, a city well known for its college students. The music goes well with it. Certainly a recommendation, nevertheless it's regrettable that they didn't recast "older Tom".
