I like Iskanov's arty DIY style but I definitely think he could have trimmed 30 minutes from this easy. His follow-up film "Philosophy of a Knife" was over 4 hours long and didn't even really need to be 2 hours. Get an editor dude. You have tons of talent and almost definitely a masterpiece in you but you need to trim those runtimes.

The only real enemy to have ever existed, is an eternal one.

How could it have been executed better?

It's just an onslaught of ridiculous visuals.

I agree with the OP. The constant onslaught removes any contrast, severely damaging the impact of the film. The special effects are also way too cheesy, amateur and ham-fisted. This film is trying way too hard, way too blatantly, completely ruining any ability for it to immerse me.

Yeah, but I think that was the point...

Oh well.
