Review of Coma

Coma (I) (2019)
6/10
Russian Inception.
24 January 2021
'Coma' is Russia's answer to 'Inception' - to a certain extent. The interesting visuals certainly reminds one of 'Inception', and the world in 'Coma' reminded me of 'Dragon Hunters'.

We've seen many movies about people going to 'the other side', or what becomes of us when we die (think 'Dreams may come', for example), but I've never seen a film about what happens to people when they are comatose.

Architect Viktor wakes up to a world that can only be described as a nightmare. Trying to find out what's going on, he is faced with more questions than answers. The film is very difficult to understand at first, but everything does become clearer as the story unfolds. To fully understand the film, more than one viewing is recommended to spot what you might have missed.

A Film like this is bound to deliver numerous plot flaws, and actions will be questioned. Reality, dreams and the coma world also blurs, and there's some confusion as to what one can actually remember. Ultimately, though, this was an exciting, unique film with lots of action, intrigue and suspense. The Reapers were well designed, creepy creatures.

There's an interesting twist and reveal.
