Why so much hype?

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

A reasonably good start that obscures a really stupid and lame plot, as soon as it starts explaining it you think "can't be serious, can't be SOOOOO absurd!" The story does not stand up a child's mind, the acting is horrendous, the dialog almost non existent, the localization really cheap... the only achievement is to show Prague as a really ugly city, something not so easy.Really, paying to see this crap seems to be a really nasty way to lose money.For me, the only possible explanation for all that positive comments is that the people involved in the making of the movie are trying to improve its ratings. Incredible.

I saw the promo DVD of this movie - it's not actually had any kind of showing outside of the festival circuit that I'm aware of. It's a pretty impressive outing - building up a strong atmosphere with intense performances that convey the dread of waking up as an amnesiac in a strange foreign city.The story features a family torn apart and transplanted to Prague, pawns in a shadowy mind control experiment. The mechanics of this process and the assassination plot that lies behind it, become subsidiary to the trials of the two leads to piece together their shattering experience. Can love overcome the naked exercise of power? One thing that the script does really well is to continually build up hope that it might...(all pretty Kafka-esquire really - must be a Prague thing).

Though there's a genre all its own that this movie fits into -- the amnesia stricken hero dropped into a dire situation in an alien land -- Experiment tackles it strongly -- and it adds a bit more to it. Many British productions are shot in Eastern Europe for the sake a tight budget, but this story needed to be there and works there beautifully.The cast is interesting and quite watchable. The leads suck you in. Compelling, visual, believable, and with a strong ending -- which is something I wish I could say of most Hollywood fare...This director should be one to watch. I can't wait to see his next work.

I saw this film at a recent screening in London. It was amazing! It starts off with a woman being thrown from a vehicle in Prague, not knowing who she is or what she is doing there. A man, is finds himself in a canal, and surprisingly is alive. Both have lost their memory. Real attention has been given to things that would be affected by the loss, not just superficial issues for the convenience of the film (as you often see. Its also carried through the whole film, not just an occasion which is instantly forgotten.I don't want to ruin the plot so I won't say too much, but this film really makes you think. The plot is revealed seemingly quite slowly but very thoughtfully. Unlike other films you can't just guess what is going to happen, it really is a thriller. As the issues are looked at the jigsaw comes together. The emotions I went through included fear, shock and at one point it was almost a touch sad, but then another surprise instantly changes the emotion.The film was shot well, the main character's (Morgan) acting was excellent and totally believable, as was Stephan's. In fact, I don't think I can criticise any of the characters. Its quite dark but this adds to feel of the film. What is scary, is that it could possibly happen one day.....Why not a score of 10? I couldn't forget about it afterwards!
