This movie had way too many plot elements that mirrored Logans Run. The one's I caught are listed as follows. 1. A supposedly sealed post disaster civilization. 2. A main character who questions his environment. 3. The video game fight scene. ( if I'm not mistaken the female won in both films) 4. They find a way outside and explore the real world while being pursued by adversary's who are assigned to terminate them or bring them back. 5. They have a harrowing time surviving in the real world. 6. They decide to go back!They over come the system and everyone comes outside and is in awe of outside world.

This is a brief list there may be more similarity's

First off i would like to commend everyone who was involved in the making of this film. To make a film for 7k is a remarkable feat.

As as science savvy person I was able to figure what was going on with out too much difficulty, this is certainly a film that makes you have to think about the story a lot more than your average film. All that said I have to say that I did find myself bored and wanting the film to end half way through. I can understand why some of you have said the film was overly vague and confusing and I wonder If the filmmaker had to add the voice over as an after thought to try to tie it all together. I think it would have been incomprehensible without it.

It's hard to know where to begin when describing this film, I found the acting,cinamatography, editing and art direction to be first rate with three really well built stories. But even this was not enough to make this a engrossing film for me, at no time did it manage to make me feel as if I had an emotional investment in any of the three interwoven stories, In fact I really could not wait for it to be over. I noticed more than a few people in the packed theator looking ant there watches to see how much more they had to endure before it was over.This movie starts out at a snails pace and it never recovers. I found myself wanting to yell out loud JUMP as Richard Harris climbs into the open window.

In conclusion this movie is aptly named THE HOUR'S, It feels like your in the theator for HOURS!

I understand how important it is to tell this story, but nothing can make up for how boring the execution of this film is. At one point its a 45 min. head shot of the main character who is telling the story. The man constantly restates himself to the point where you the audience member find yourself wishing for a bullet in the head to stop the agony. You would think that with the large amount of film that was shot by the German army during the Third ritch that director Claude Lanzmann could have made this film more visually appealing and interesting than the boring monologue that we are left with.
