User reviews

The entire movie consists of piling on exposition, the narrative is completely absent, the characters are an absolute black hole of empty acting, all the characters are dead and we witness an afterlife world where the characters have no emotions or feelings.

No direction, no sound work, the movie is bad in every sense and connotation. One gets the impression that Ginzburg, who considers himself a "director", doesn't understand the language of cinema, doesn't understand what film art is. This is a total disrespect to all those who participated in the making of this movie and to those who watched it.

This movie speaks to us about discourse, trying to enter the realm of postmodernity, but the movie fails here too, it is not postmodern, it is postmortem.

"Empire V" brilliantly captures the essence of Viktor Pelevin's thought-provoking novel. The film delves deep into the philosophy of the modern world, exploring themes of consumerism, identity, and the search for meaning. Its thought-provoking narrative challenges viewers to question the reality they inhabit, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate intellectual cinema. The cinematography and visual effects are awe-inspiring, adding another layer to the film's depth. "Empire V" is a smart and visually stunning adaptation that will leave you contemplating the boundaries of reality and fiction long after the credits roll.
