So simple and so effective

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2006)

I first saw this movie a couple of years ago at a special screening in Norway after a friend of mine recommended it to me. I remembered it because I have never experienced a cinema with a louder volume than this had. At that point I didn't quite get what it was all about, but I also had this feeling I shouldn't really bother to "get" it, which is why this movie became most importantly an eye-opener for me.
Way too many times people try to "get" things when there is nothing to get, as if you try to subtract 3 from 2. Where will that extra 1 appear from? What you see is what this movie gives you. The stage is simple: Man evolves and goes to space. The straightforwardness of this is so beautifully portrayed in this movie I will never forget it.
This movie is not one you watch when you are all hyped up, mind. I find it best to watch late in the evening when it is dark outside.
Probably the finest sci-fi yet.
