Man Divided (2017) User Reviews

Lots of potential - Yawn worthy execution

[moviebuffchick · 5/10 · 11 May 2018]

I was completely sold by the premise of this movie. At it's core... it REALLY is a great plot... even as it continues to unfold. But there were opportunities missed to make it more enjoyable to watch. It's already a very dark movie... literally as well as figuratively. The grim tone of the characters moods and situation were reflected in the use of the dark and sometimes monotonous tones on screen. This in and of itself isn't a bad thing.. but you have to balance that with something a little more engaging for your audience.

Ultimately I still enjoyed this film for what it was. I'm glad I watched it and while I personally believe that it was excellent at it's core, I can only assume that the lackluster responses are a direct result of how unnecessarily boring it was at times.

2095 all plants and animals are gone.

How the heck did the survive? Canabalism? Not thought through plot... Freshwater for time travel? Time Paradoxon?

Voice over and out

[BobNoOneHundred · 3/10 · 4 September 2019]

It is difficult to make a good voice over. On the other hand, to make one as annoying as this is almost impressive. Also, it could be considered a form of child abuse to cast a child in a movie as bad as this.

Far from it

You should remember on 12 monkeys. You will realise that back to past only would work on film. You see the paradoxon, but the film is boring and confusing. The message of this film is clear: getting to the future you will need your past. So the director questioned making the film itself. Bravo.

Go and see other time travel movies and forget this one.

Worst movie I've seen in years

[mreurodisco · 1/10 · 19 December 2019]

When you start looking for your mobile and think about other things you know you are watching a bad movie, but this is worse than bad. I really struggled to watch it to the end. It was so slow and boring, you would expect it to have at least five oscars :)

Nostalgia

[EdgarST · 8/10 · 31 July 2018]

This is a gloomy drama, in the line of the original "Blade Runner", with a mutant (or qeda, the quantum entangled divided agent of the title) that falls in love with the past time in which its human model grew up: the qedas are replicas of humans, with similar characteristics, that fulfill missions traveling through time. And this one in particular refuses to return to the future (or the present time of the film), hypnotized by that "before" that it discovers. "QEDA" lacks the shiny surfaces of the Ridley Scott film, in which rottenness was glamourous and death was a poet. Without the lyricism that turned Scott's opus into a classic, "QEDA" is a small, intimate science fiction film, but never worthless, that opts for a more realistic sense of hopelessness in the fantasy frame of the story. Its ability to move us and the drama forward makes the result attractive and interesting in the end.

Highly underrated

[soren-91 · 8/10 · 26 July 2021]

Very good and relevant film, wonder why they don´t show it on TV.

Remind me of Solaris (1972)!

[catodydysseus · 9/10 · 3 April 2022]

Fantastic, slow paced but artfully thought provoking!

Great acting and production design. This is one of the best Sci-Fi movies in my book.

I enjoy good action loaded movies like 5th Element and Guardians of the Galaxy also, but this is on a complete different scale. Very Well done indeed.
