Coherence begins with migraine inducing shaky cam cinematography that is over zoomed and blurry. The dialog is pretentious cross talk that includes pseudo-science gibberish and becomes incredibly annoying really fast. Unfortunately this is another film again filled with artist profession tropes (e.g. Actor, dancer etc...) who are apparently all over 30 yet have never experienced a power outage and never heard of a generator.
I want to know who does not own flash lights but instead conveniently has boxes of different colored glow sticks laying around? Also who thinks that the only "weapon" you can use out of household items to defend yourself is a baseball bat? Has no one ever heard of knives and tools?
As soon as they start trying to explain the plot with theoretical physics using tired pseudo-science reasoning I rolled my eyes. On what planet does a female dancer become the resident expert on comets? Let alone do a group of non-scientific people start jumping into acceptance of being in a twilight zone episode and then start thought experimenting a way out.
I cannot explain how painful it is to watch this movie and immediately recognize how some pseudo-intellectual "brainstormed" this plot with his friends thinking how "smart" he was at the time. God this movie is so sad because they really believe they set up some grand science based detective story where everyone is just piecing the clues together. Except no one at this party would think or act like this.
Everyone is acting like they are trying to figure out an escape room and everything that is happening is completely normal so long as they put the right "smart" clues together. This is bound to be another cult classic for people who think they are "smart". No cringe inducing movie I have seen before since Primer (2004) can be explained so easily by describing it as pseudo-science for pseudo-intellectuals than this.
