mattiasflgrtll6 I was actually looking for a completely different movie when somebody said "Maybe this is the movie you are looking for?". It wasn't, but my God am I glad I stumbled upon it. I am literally EXTREMELY thankful I had the luck to know about a movie which unfortunately is so obscure that I don't even know how many in Sweden have seen it. I have tried to convince a friend for several months to check out this unforgettable piece, but to no avail. What a shame, he's really missing out on something special! The thing is, if you watch this the first time, you will probably scratch your head your skin will tear off and brain mass is sighted. Okay, that was a little too much, but still. What's funny about this is that it's not such a complicated or hard-to-get movie after all. I was so convinced I had missed something on the first watch, so I gave it a second viewing. It turned out it was just as simple as I had interpreted it: a surreal, twisted thriller about paranoia in a strange environment. Simon J. is pretty much a normal guy, who tries to live his own life. But he can't, because his boss gets him under the skin by constantly blabbing about the codes he as a computer programmer was supposed to send. But what are the codes for? Mostly taking place in a apartment building, Simon meets a lot of crazy people, even including Howard, who is constructing a small robot with a intricate voice (it was so hard to hear what it said that I had to turn up the volume if I didn't play incredibly close attention) and Trish, who partakes in some... peculiar activities on her time off. His emotional connection to her is one of the most interesting aspects of the movie. Does he love her for real or is he just trying to seek comfort in someone in a world he can't grasp? His friendship with Howard is also a major part of the movie. But even though he's the only one who relatively keeps his sanity intact, nobody goes free from suspicion, since... ... he gets sent empty packages to his apartment again and again and again, which is what motivates him to act as scared and odd as he does. Why is he always being followed when he goes to the grocery store? Why can't he stop buying so much milk? For how long can he avoid paying the rent? And what's up with this virus causing the deaths of several people? We are all Simon in this movie. His fear and incapability to remain calm while he still tries to anyway is so realistic it's scary. I can imagine acting exactly like him if I was put in such a situation. Uncertain and unrelaxed. The only one who actively helps him out is his friend Nile, but isn't he acting cuckoo as well? How can he always arrive to his apartment in barely a minute? The ending has been criticized, but I think it's perfect. It fits the tone of the movie excellently and I can't picture another way it could've turned out. Be prepared it's very dark, depressing and disturbing. But if you're in the mood for a flick outside the boundary and won't be distracted with checking your email and Facebook, which is unfortunately just the same old stuff, watch it. Maybe you'll be just as obsessed with this movie as I myself got afterwards.

Efenstor The film is often compared to Darren Aronofsky's "Pi" and it's actually similarly intelligent and visually creative, yet "Pi" is more consistent and logical. So what we have great about "1.0"? First and foremost is its message, which is very relevant for the consumer society of today; the very discovery of that message while watching the movie is a rather exciting thing, yet it's a common thing for intelligent movies; but that's not the point, the point is that "1.0" warns you about living to consume products, the corporations will never care much about you, they only want money, more and sooner. That's why they would never care much even about debugging the programs they put into their consumers. Of course, this movie is a sci-fi because I think it's virtually impossible to create a virus for the human brain, even with some kind of microscopic electronic "mites". But doesn't, say, propaganda sounds like someone's trying to put a mind virus into your brain, to make it possess your will and so to control it? Or weren't communism and fascism a real kind of mind plague striking billions of people? May be then even there are demons who possess people and make them do things they wouldn't like to, and they are actually mind viruses, thoughts that have an ability to transmit themselves using verbal channels? We should learn to watch attempts to control our will and to resist them, or we won't be human anymore just like those poor people in this amazing movie. 7 out of 10, because the pace of the story is yet too sluggish and the visuals are overly grotesque which I don't really like, here "Pi" did better.

Igor Novikov Don't waste your money with this piece of "work". Boring, underdirected, overplayed, overdramatized, inconsistent -- these are just a few words that come to mind when watching this garbage. The movie promises to keep you in suspense until the very end, however, half way through you realize that you are no longer interested in finding out what's going on. The dialogue is so bleak and uninteresting, you will find yourself nodding off after about 40 minutes. The producers have tried to combine suspense, horror, intrigue, sci-fi, gore, and romance, and they failed miserably. The actors' plays leave you wishing for Pauly Shore's return. To summarize: if you want to see a bad, yet somewhat entertaining movie, watch Biodome. Don't waste your hard-earned money with this garbage.

Brandy I think this is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I kept watching waiting for a plot, my husband and I both missed a possible plot. So many things are left unanswered!! I feel like I just woke up from a bad dream and now I'll spend the rest of my evening confused and trying to figure it out. I don't even know if I can tell you what the movie was about I'm so confused but I'll tell you what I know. This guy is in this apartment building where no one acts normal at all. The neighbors are strange, and even the guy at the grocery store is strange. He pays high prices for small items at the grocery store....which is odd, who pays 90 bucks for a gallon of milk? He is trying to figure out what is going on around him and then comes this pretty lame explanation and a very strange ending to the movie. As you are still waiting for them to answer so many questions that have been brought up by the attempt at a plot.....the movie ends...we actually had to check the chapters left on the DVD to see if that was REALLY the end!!!I wouldn't waste my time with this film unless you like "fill in the blank" movies!
