• Seen: 22 January 2022      

       The year is 2095. The Earth is mostly covered in ocean. Time travel is possible but the dangers of disrupting the time vortex are so great that QEDAs are forbidden. But one remains. He returns to 2017 to save the scientific research that will stop the disaster and save his daughter’s life.

       It’s sombre, complex and fascinating. I don’t quite follow all the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff but that doesn’t matter.

       It’s not every day one sees a Danish sci fi film, but I hope they make more. This one is world-class. 

4 ½ * of 5.
