Stille Reserven (2016) Reviews
European Movie not good for Americans
Well to keep it short ,this is my first Review. Its a great movie but not for everyone ,the plot is deep no action and no blood spilling ,no broken cars no explosions as i said its not for americans . On the other hand if u like a deep plot and dark atmosphere accompanied by convincing actors watch it . last but not least sorry for my horrible english but i guess most of u will understund.
Great premise, but meh
Wonderful premise, wonderful set design, yet it's a truly mediocre film. I hate to write this, because there are not a lot of sci-fi films coming out of Germany, Austria or Switzerland. The funding institutions are kinda conservative here, and sci-fi is usually a red flag. And every now and then they dare giving money to a sci-fi project, and it really fails. Whyyyy?????? WHYYY???????? I give this one 6 stars, just because I can't make myself give it 5.
I'm not convinced either
"Stille Reserven" or "Hidden Reserves" is a German 90-minute movie released for the big screen back in 2016, so not too old actually, maybe depending on when you read this review. Writer and director is Valentin Hitz and after a break of no less than 13 years, this is his most recent filmmaking effort and also his most famous at this point. This may have to do weíth the sci-fi genre for sure that still attracts audiences big time, even if it is not a very famous film by any means. But yeah this genre and German film is something that almost never works well together and sadly this film is not an exception there. Sure you won't see any big spectacular space ships here, but you don't need them either if you deliver in other areas. However, the suspense and atmosphere component here are not good enough either to make up for flaws in story telling. I would say that the best thing about this film is not the strange recurring insurance reference, but the lead performance by Clemens Schick and I like him and I am kinda happy for him that he seems to be having a breakthrough on an international level too in Hollywood, even if those films he appears in are not top of the crop sadly in terms of critical reception. So yes I am biased here, but I think he elevates the mediocre material sometimes too in this one and it would have been a worse film without him. Not that it is a good film with him. Most of the characters feel really one-dimensional, which may be a mix of sub-par writing and acting, but there really is not a single component that stands out positively. There is not one huge failure in it either, so the film is nothing that hits rock-bottom and maybe some of the biggest sci-fi fans will even enjoy it, but for me it didn't do too much. My suggestion is to skip the watch here and watch something else instead.
Science Fiction without what it's all about
Seen at the Viennale 2016: It is always creepy to watch a SciFi or something similar made in Middle Europe. These countries are based on a conservative history and culture. And I guess, if filmmakers in these countries try SciFi, they do very often have no progressive clue about a possible future and quickly loose their interests to develop characters acting along plots that dig deeper into human longings and their hopes and fears apart from the usual (love, money, power, morality mixed together into endless cascades of possibilities to stay in the movie business). Movies projecting our world of today into one of our possible futures need ideas that go beyond the fantasy of a bored mind of a saturated script writer. In Stille Reserven only one fragment of our contemporary live is projected into the unknown future (to be allowed to die). Everything else remains as it is today. And to look at so few content (not) supported by low key acting for one-and-a-half hours is quite boring. Not a single interesting thought and it was quite annoying to have to sit this one trough. Nobody will feel anything regarding the fate of the characters in this movie. Maybe it's only bad luck, but there are so many US SciFi-movies out there that are dealing these topics so much deeper and better.
