It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Unfortunately, it is common for fantasies like El Incidente to be billed as science fiction when they are far from it. They can call it "surreal" science fiction, but it's still not remotely science fiction. It is fantasy.I'm very tolerant regarding reality getting bent or even mutilated in science fiction, but that isn't what happens in this movie. It is a metaphorical fantasy way of seeing the universe, and unabashedly so. It is not a space warp thing.I give it a 1/10 if you're looking for sci-fi, or a 7/10 if you are looking for a metaphorical fantasy.

I cannot understand the negative reviews. Acting? Photography? Really? Is that your serious concern about this awesome piece of art? This is not a film to watch worried about technique, nor about entertainment. This is a movie to think, to be surprised and intrigued. Its a huge mindf**k puzzle, in an intense and crazy parallel dimension - at the real world. A sci-fi without space ships, just regular persons and regular scenery, through a very not regular story. Do yourself a favor and watch this film without trying to be an egocentric movie critic, but a true fan of art and different angles. Then you can go back to your comfortable "I saw this already" kind of movie. And no, nobody is paying me a penny to review it. Believe me, I work at a quality control enterprise for video-on-demand platforms, I watch all kinds of movies everyday, but this stands out.

I am a better author than the people who wrote El Incidente.And I say that not with arrogance, but with 100% confidence.They made a fundamental mistake, or attempted a fundamental and cruel piece of con-artistry:They did not start writing the script until they had begun filming.There is no story. It turns into such a pile of waffle and gets so bogged down that we have to endure nearly ten minutes - Ten. Minutes. - of some idiot whining on and cut-flashes to try and 'explain' what is going on.And at that point the film still has half an hour to go! Now that's hell, a hell all too similar to the two infinite-loop hells portrayed in here.I wouldn't have bothered logging in and blasting this vile piece of rubbish, except it committed the one, UNFORGIVABLE sin:It led me on. At one point I was actually fascinated, watching how the two sets of victims managed their lives stuck in their own hamster-wheels ... with rules that made no sense and kept changing as the script-writers felt like changing them ... and then El Splat happened. I missed an hour of sleep because I sat up to watch this piece of dross. It's not getting away with that.All the positive reviews here are hired ones, the film is terrible. It is not only bad - badly acted, semi-OK cinematography, jarring cuts and annoying music - it is unoriginal and thinks it's clever. It isn't, at all.Hoping and wishing it was a painful financial and credibility loss for all involved.--- -- -

I walked out of the theater saying, "That was amazing. Just amazing." My family agreed and we talked about it that night and the next morning, figuring it out, exchanging what we remembered and admiring the creative staging and story telling. I think it was well thought out and the story told well, surprises that I then realized were logical. I thought the acting very good, especially as the actors changed extremely over time. We were still a little confused about the conclusion's explanation, but I think we understood most of the logic -- it helped to have multiple people discussing it and remembering pieces. When the old guys start talking, you need to listen.
