Story: After a colossal and mysterious accident a young talented architect comes back to his senses in a very odd world that only resembles the reality. This world is based on the memories of the ones who live in it - people who are currently finding themselves in a deep coma. Human memory is spotty, chaotic and unstable. The same is the COMA - odd collection of memories and recollections - cities, glaciers and rivers can all be found in one room. All the laws of physics can be broken. The architect must find out the exact laws and regulations of COMA as he fights for his life, meets the love of his life and keeps on looking for the exit to the real world which he will have to get acquainted with all over again after the experience of COMA.

Like: From seeing the trailer which was kind of weird and cool at the same time, ive been waiting for this film for a long time because i through it looks interesting. After watching this film WOW absolute blow my mind on just how amazing this film was done on a short budget.

Yes the film is made by russian director there is a subtitle verison and english dubbed verison which is actually better than most dudded film out, the special effect are outstanding giving a world in the mind of coma patient created by their own memories, with effects that reminds me off dr strange, inception and a game called Evil within 2 style world with dark oil like creatures called reapers which is fully explain in the film. 

While the subplot of the film is a romance one, it not done in a way that its rushed or genetically force like most film, it actually has a purpose through the film which come clear, The visual where fragment of memory of the world you were living in seem to be map like the path ways of the mind where building and people exist as fragment memory. Where the people trapped in this world they have unique powers to iver effect the world, sense the reaper near and other powers, the reaper themselves look like they are from a Kojima game which give them and very nightmare look.

Its like a world on worlds like upside down sections that have their gravity, which shows for a low budget film, they really done impressive work with this film. If you want to check it out it in amazon prime to rent or buy.   

Dislikes: Slight nitpick i would have loved a bit more of a boss fight style at the end, but the way it ended was perfect for this film that give a Evil within feel to it. 

Overall:  Visual epic, great direction and story pacing, great acting. 

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment 9.8 out of 10 for fresh concept
