Better than I expected!

I won't get into a lot of detail, but this is definitely worth a watch. Think Interstellar meets Stranger Things in Sweden! A lot of action, interesting plot, and some good character development. CGI is there, but not abused and seldom overt. (I think a lot was done with lighting and practical effects.) Watch and enjoy!

UFO hunting in swedish way / european cinema going strong

I must say that I knew nothing about this film, all I saw was a teaser trailer on a small screen. But I had a good feeling about the film, although to be honest, I expected something different.

The film is set in Norrköping, Sweden, in the 90s and follows a smart but headstrong teen girl who has lost her father. Yet, there's a possibility he's alive. Intent on finding him and uncover the truth, she visits her father's old colleagues and friends at 'UFO-Sverige,' aka UFO Sweden. Which is, by the way, a real organization founded in the 70s.

This is the kind of film that I am missing in the american cinema these days. The screenplay definitely has an american influence to it though, and by that I mean the good ol' (late) 20th century america. For the most part, the story surprised me in a positive way.

I was also positively surprised by the cinematography. Despite being a relative newcomer to feature films, Victor Danell did a splendid job as a director.

Inez Dahl Torhaug and Jesper Barkselius were both great in their roles, and the supporting cast was solid.

(I see a bright future for Victor Danell and Inez Dahl Torhaug in the film industry!)

If you want to see a fun sci-fi themed film that is easy to watch, I'd recommend this. I rate it a strong 7+/10.
