8th Wonderland (2008)

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Due to a full sneak preview we bought tickets for Knight and Day but thought, let's sit on the floor and take a look what's coming at sneak preview. The first minutes were strange but promising for a movie to think about. After ten minutes we preferred to remain on the floor to watch this great movie. It sure wasn't an expensive production, but who needs that? The two directors did an immense great job with that idea. It has infectious ideas for freedom, democracy, the wish to make things better and sure, if it played in Hollywood with reaching the right amount of people, the potential to change things. But nevertheless there are a few contradictory parts. No brain-roasting Hollywood shi*, great movie to see, going to watch it witch my girlfriend again at premiere in Germany!

I never wrote a comment on IMDb, but at this time i have the responsibility to warn everyone from watching this crap. I really have seen a lot of bad movies in my life, but this movie is the worst i have ever seen. The dialogs are unsubstantial, the "special effects" look like they were made by a 10 year old boy with magix video deluxe and the story....there is no story! It's like they filmed a lot of crap, throw the dice and put it all together. Before you go and watch this movie think about watching the whole IMDb bottom 100. I thinks thats the better idea!I leaved the movie after 30 minutes.....I WANT MY 30 MINUTES BACK!!!

I too was one of the unfortunate few people who had to suffer through this "movie", during a sneak preview night. Well at least the first 30-45 minutes of it, because that was when me and my mate left.I just can comment on the production value and the crafting, because until the moment I left I still had no idea what was going on in this movie. I only learned what it was actually about after skimming through the plot on the internet. Apparently some intellectuals try to make the world a better place. Watching the first 30 minutes it never occurred to me, that I was watching a bunch of intellectuals. It looked more like a bunch of students and stereotype bad guys. None of the actors left any impression what so ever on me or stood out. They all seemed pretty generic and replaceable.The production value appeared to be pretty low in general. Some scenes looked like they were shot in the actual living rooms of the "actors". Whole scenes looked like they were taken directly from youtube. At least they had the look and feel of some youtube videos. Some scenes were set in some kind of fancy chat room, that looked like an out-of-box after effects effect. In those scenes all they chat room participants were projected in a circle of screens, surrounded by some matrix-esqe code bits flying by. Compared to the broader spectrum of films those effects were pretty bad, but in this movie they actually looked neat compared to the rest.Do yourself a favor and skip this movie.

This is the first movie I ever walk out from (after suffering through it for an hour). Badly played, naive, and simply plain boring, it also lacks original ideas and is filled with long dialogues leading nowhere.There are too many characters for any of them to have any depth, the situations are sometimes grotesque (a girl casually reading the newspapers in front of her web cam while she is supposed to talk about a way to "save the world", another guy discussing secret schemes aloud in a crowded internet café, a CIA agent logging in and chatting aloud (too) with the wonderland group right next to his colleagues without them even hearing him?!). Anyone seems to be able to join the group, yet personalities and the CIA strive to gain access to the website?! After a while, you just wish the characters would shut up. Not only because their dialogues are bad, but because their acting is bad too and the situations are totally unrealistic.It could have been a great movie. It was greatly screwed up. And all the people leaving the room confirmed this impression. Thank you, come again!
