One of the more creative movies I've ever seen. The premise showed great promise, and it's fleshed out about as far as you could take it. The problem is... things accelerate at such a high rate, that you quickly figure out that the details don't matter. If the movie had a smaller scale, or a more claustrophobic feel, I think it would have worked better. In a mind-bending movie like this, usually noticing details is what pieces everything together. But here, most of what happens turns out to not be of any consequence. The ending only serves to ram this point home - it seems like they just ran out of ideas and wrapped it up as quickly as possible.

I think this was a good film... but with a steadier pace, a tighter narrative, and a stronger finish, it could have been great.

Fmovies: Re-energizing the low budget scifi genre, this mind bender centers around a single dinner party on a night where a comet is passing over Earth, causing some strange occurrences. The film keeps you at the edge of your seat from the first frame to the last, primarily a result of the experimental production process by which director James Ward Byrkit only gave the actors notes about their goals for each scene (there was no script). This allowed the actors to fully improvise the moments when and how they'd attempt to achieve their goals. The tight setting and masterful editing keeps us super close to the action, sometimes purposefully uncomfortably close. The result is that 'Coherence' becomes an instant scifi crowd pleaser...and hopefully the start of a new filmmaking trend. The twists and turns kept me thinking for days, and I can't wait to watch it again. See it with friends -- I guarantee it'll spark some really fun debates.

Great cerebral sci-fi. If you're looking for aliens and spaceships this ain't it but if you like the twilight zone kinda stuff this is a good one. Maybe I was in the right mood for it but I really enjoyed this one. The characters were believable and what I thought were holes in the plot turned out not to be. not sure I would have been thrilled to see it in a movie theater at present ticket and snack prices but a good rental. Gotta pay attention and don't worry if you can't catch everything being said in the first part as it's just party chatter.

Not all questions answered and the premise is not, I think, meant to be exactly the Schrodinger cat thing but just something to motivate the action. Just because the characters discuss something doesn't mean they figured everything out right.

Coherence fmovies. I don't like to write reviews,also not much fan of sci-fi (but like thrillers). Before watching the movie I read the user reviews on IMDb. They amazed me and so did the movie! Its simply brilliant! No one can imagine that superb thriller can be made in such a low budget. Great concept, great storyline, great script, great execution. As many are not happy with camera work (as its like found footage type), it wont bother you as movie progresses,in fact it increases curiosity. Movie keeps you guessing and predicting but does not allow you to win. Not much twists, but last few twists are really good. Please watch for off the road concept. It will surely amaze you. Hats off!!!

I generally like the science fiction films which are lacking of visual excesses, well produced, and specially, based on the exploration of interesting ideas, which don't betray (too much) the "scientific" part of science fiction. Coherence fits into that description, but it didn't leave me completely satisfied; its development is generally credible, but it occasionally makes too much of an effort to create conflict, when a more subtle and rational focus would have exploited its interesting premise better. Everything starts with the passage of the Williams Comet on a very short distance to the Earth... so short that its movement is clearly perceptible. So, its cosmic influence (or whatever it is) provokes a series of phenomenons which affects a group of friends during a pleasant reunion. Obviously, during the development of the night, the tension is incremented and secrets of the past come to light, something which complicates the bizarre circumstances they are suddenly facing. Those secrets and revelations are what I liked the least from the screenplay... the main event is interesting, and I don't think it was necessary to exaggerate the drama with fights lacking of any sense and childish attitudes from characters who seemed sensible some minutes before. Sure, it could be taken as a commentary of the frailty of civilized society, always ready to disappear in front of the slightest alteration of the "status quo", waking the aggression and low instincts from people who considered themselves above those reactions. But I couldn't swallow it. The fights and discussions feel like simple filler which inflates the film and obstructs the analysis of the situation. Fortunately, that is reduced during the last third of the film, letting the characters expose their theories and elaborate possible plans of action, while we witness the gradual dissolution of the reality around them. The actors make a good work in their roles and create a natural dynamic with each other which convinces us of the long friendship and occasional differences between their characters. In conclusion, despite some kinda boring and irritating moments, I can give a moderate recommendation to Coherence, mainly because of the interesting mystery it presents.

I haven't written a review in ages but I feel this deserves one.

I like to take gambles on movies with promise and it usually pays off - this one certainly did!

I'm no nerd but I like a bit of sci-fi. I also like movies with a small cast and a small set - maybe I am a nerd. ..or I just have good taste.

If you have a bit of intelligence and 20 minutes patience - you will be rewarded. It takes that time to be introduced to the characters and the scenario - alright? Alright.

The acting is pretty spot-on, considering I didn't recognize anyone. (Upon inspection this isn't a bunch of new actors, it has the dude from Homeland and a dude from Buffy.)

Without spoiling much it ends up tapping in to the 'alternate reality' or 'multiple reality' game - which is cool. It starts off being quite amusing for the viewer but escalates nicely in to a dramatic conclusion.

All I can say is watch it. I am looking forward to watching it again - it's gone straight in my 'watch again pile' which isn't very large.

I wish more movies were like this. Well done everyone.

(My honest review would be a 9, but it deserves a 10 here for the sake of it.)
