Coherence

Coherence is a fascinating sci-fi thriller that really messes with your head, in the best way. The story is smart, simple, and incredibly engaging. Watching the group slowly unravel as they realize they’re caught in a web of parallel realities was both tense and exciting. The twists kept me guessing, and the way everything ties together at the end made it feel like a puzzle worth solving. That said, the cinematography was a big letdown for me. I get that it’s a low-budget movie, but that doesn’t excuse the constant shaky camera and out-of-focus shots. It made some scenes frustrating to watch, especially when the story was so good. A proper camera stand and better lenses could’ve made this a much more enjoyable experience. The shaky style might’ve been intentional to add to the tension, but for me, it just felt sloppy and distracting. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie’s concept and execution—minus the visual issues. Coherence shows you don’t need a big budget to tell a great story, but a little more effort on the cinematography could’ve elevated it to a whole new level. Still, it’s worth watching if you love mind-bending, thought-provoking films. Just be ready for the shaky ride.
