Review of the film "Artifact";

In the past, Victor, a successful programmer, at the request of his boss and Eric's friend, leaves Moscow for a vacation by the sea, taking with him an unknown woman – a rather unpleasant person, Eric's girlfriend. Victor himself has been severely depressed since the death of his wife, who helped him develop an ultra-successful virtual reality program called Artefact. As for his traveling companion, she is going to marry a Welshman, and for a trip to the south she has her own, for the time being, hidden reasons. Together, they experience many adventures that allow them to realize that their journey takes place not only in ordinary reality, but also in an alternative, created by an out-of-control program "Artifact".
The word "artifact" has many meanings that are united, perhaps, by only one characteristic: uniqueness. Andrei Sokolov's film rightfully bears this name: even against the general background of Russian mass cinema, Artefact stands out for the unprecedented and boundless contempt of the filmmakers for future viewers. Judge for yourself: the story that is being told to us is an unimaginable, wild, delusional mix of the first "Carrier" and the very first "Matrix", and both films are "reshot" equally poorly. As for the cast, I recall the constant leitmotif of the film.: "You can't know what reality you're in right now." It feels like director Andrei Sokolov and those people who were casting for the main roles are also living in some completely unimaginable and alien reality - in which brilliant programmers are not at all like the young people we are used to and have the handsome, stern appearance of actor Alexander Lazarev Jr., and glamorous photographers for some reason They speak English with a Nizhny Novgorod accent and Russian with the intonations of provincial merchants. Obviously, the filmmakers simply didn't care about such small things, just as they didn't care that the lead actress wasn't even able to plausibly perform such a simple acting task as playing a drunk woman. Really, what's the difference? Why bother with some kind of plot logic, acting, filming, and special effects when you can simply put a bunch of Russian celebrities into one movie (from the episodic Ksenia Sobchak to the episodic Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina) and the audience will immediately rush to the cinemas? One can only hope that, despite the competition that Russian directors have apparently arranged – "who will make the most disgusting film in the world and collect the box office at the same time" – there is still some limit to the patience of the audience, and the only bright spot of the "Artifact", which embodies Alexey Panin (successfully portraying an alcoholic beggar), still won't make them pay their money for such a nightmare. Hopefully, the crisis will help them in this. 1xBet welcome bonus new players can get up to 100% bonus at the sportsbook when registering and making a first deposit.
