This is a smart film. This foreign film reminds me in many ways of three other films; The Road Warrior, Blade Runner, and Pierre Boule's 1970's Planet of the Apes. The beginning scene had me looking for Charlton Heston. Nora Arnezeder is very compelling as the women from Kepler who returns to Earth to see if this abandoned planet will sustain life. Class issues, an undercurrent of Colonial politics, and moral relativism are all intertwined in this dark futuristic Sci-Fi film. It is ambitious. It is visually Dank but not low budget in appearance. It does drag a bit but overall it is pretty good. It is a German film but it is in English.
