The not-too-distant future. The Institute has developed the ability to back up citizens. Just by making a save at least once every 48 hours, you could bring yourself back to life, in case you died. The main character - Em Trochinowska, a girl working as a detective is investigating the death of one of the employees of the institute.

General impressions: a rather simple low-budget movie with mediocre acting. It is a bit boring in places. Many controversial moments in the film are not fully described. The motivation of the main character to risk her life in some situations is not fully understood. Watch it exclusively for fans of sci-fi.

I love sci-fi and post-apocalyptic and existencial, and this tries to look exactly like that. The problem is it is just a make believe. The characters are not interesting, you don't care about them, because there is nothing to like them for or hate them for, for that matter. The dialogues are unnatural. Like translated from another language (I viewed the original Czech version), the characters names and organization names are unnecessarily complicated, hard to remember or make sense in the first place. It could have been a good movie if it was not trying too hard to look like something else. Too bad.

A nice looking film, decent performances from the actors and a story you've heard before. Cop's life partner is killed and she's driven on a mission to stop a terrorist group. In this instance it's "tree of life" which seeks to stop restoring people's lives back to where they were before, perhaps their memory is restored - and this is never explained.

The problem I had was right from the beginning. A terrorist puts a gun against the back of a man's head and pulls the trigger, instantly splattering the contents of his head inside the bag that was pulled over his head. Exactly how was his life 'restored' when his head was in pieces? None of this is explained at all. There is just a timer device inside everyone's pocket that indicates how much longer you have to be 'restored.' One effort to explain it is in the hospital where a boy is 'restored' and a door is opened showing the boy waking up after a car accident and looking as if nothing has occurred.

Regrettably, this film because it doesn't even try to sell the science of the science fiction at all. It might be a technical triump for the Czech film industry and I do applaud the effort. But this film represents a learning experience.
