AFFF log

If 2001 had a rejected bastard daughter, Dante 01 could have been her name.

Take a space station, make up some psychedelic sequences, add religious and scientific hues to the mix, stir, wait for 5 minutes, and hope that the audience doesn't start to ask questions. Even though the link with Dante's Divine Comedy suggests a well thought through plot, Dante 01 turns out to be a gorgeous looking standard space thriller. It's best to see and experience it as an allegory just like Dante's original work. If not, then the suspension of disbelief will be thrown out of the window in no time, because for instance who in their right mind would have a massive cross shaped space ship in orbit of a star with only 2 doctors, 3 guards and 7 mental patients...?

The film does deserve compliments for having the best character names I've seen in a while, the use of some special camera rigs enabling cool shots and some freaking trippy scenes that will be worth repeated viewing while intoxicated ;-)
