    This complex, highly cerebral sci-fi thriller concerns a father and son, each situated in two separate time periods - one inhabiting the present, and another living forty years in the future. Each senses the same conspiracy afoot, and begins searching for answers; instead of attaining deeper insights into external events, the men find that their investigations drive them into states of endless introspection. Ultimately, each must grapple with the same Faustian bargain - and each makes a very different choice.

    The film is set amid a grim wasteland of warehouses in the year 2044. People have been genetically modified to be happy and ageless, while words like “solace,’’ “consciousness,’’ and “virtue’’ have been scrapped from the language. Former medical student Jack (Peter Scanavino), the film’s narrator, makes a living trolling the stark, graffiti-strewn streets and dealing expired pharmaceuticals, whose painful side effects are coveted by citizens eager to be jolted out of their numbness. By night, Jack sits in a squalid room and memorizes definitions of banned words.

    He’s drawn into the web of a conspiracy by the sudden appearance of 30-year-old videotapes made by his late father, Ed (Jason Robards III), a former priest who became convinced of the existence of a covert group bent on destroying civilization. This group’s machinations were recorded in a book titled “Zenith.’’ The script plays like a CliffsNotes version of “The Da Vinci Code’’: Jack descends into an increasingly complex underworld of secret societies and shady characters, including Lisa (Ana Asensio), a hooker with a creepy, surgically enhanced father (David Thornton), and a bookstore proprietor (Bernie Rachelle) whose frenzied, epithet-laden rants may be the words of a truth-teller or a madman. “Zenith’’ skillfully weaves flashbacks of Ed’s 2012 investigation, captured on his tapes, and his son’s desperate attempts to revisit the mystery decades into the future.

    Zenith (2010)

    With its bleak fatalism, “Zenith’’ at times echoes futuristic thrillers such as “12 Monkeys’’ and “Children of Men.’’ The shoestring budget is often obvious, with one too many strobe-light sequences, and it is dispiriting that even a movie set in 2044 has a gold-hearted hooker as the hero’s object of desire. But “Zenith’’ boasts terrific photography by Vladimir Subotic and offers a few genuine surprises. Director Nikolic shouldn’t remain “anonymous’’ for long: He gets solid performances from all the actors and creates an atmosphere of mounting paranoia that’s grim and chilling.

    If you have read about it, forget the online meta-something story lines which accompany the film, the conspiracy and warning signs, and go see this film with a fresh mind - but don't blink! It is so dense with information and visuals that if you go for popcorn you will have a hard time to connect all the dots. It asks the audience to be alert and to participate in the movie, but it's worth it. Zenith obviously references/ is influenced by a lot of cult films, from Memento to Donnie Darko, with nods to La Jetee and Fight Club among others, but it is thoroughly original and unique.

    Zenith (2010)

    The film is not really about conspiracies, it is about power and lack of it, and how we relate to it, and by extension, what choices we make. The director has repeated the concept of the experiment - beginning the film with the Milgram experiment, which is not a conspiracy but a test of obedience to authority (SPOLER ALERT) repeating the experiment in the middle of the film, referencing the experiment twice by a doctor toward the end of the film, and even the director is credited as "experiment supervisor." Peeling layer after layer of intense visuals and narrative threads, the film becomes an allegory on what it means to be human. Jack, or "dumb Jack as they call him" recites into the camera about consciousness and the states of the mind (and mind you, he is an epileptic).
    Zenith (2010)

    Power corrupts, weather it is political, or the power that a parent can wield, and it is when the political becomes personal that we have to make a choice, as simulated in Milgram's experiment and as shown in Zenith. Jack doesn't give up, although he is doomed to lose. I don't think that I have ever seen a film like this, and couldn't stop thinking about it afterward. If your idea of a 'good movie' is based on Hollywood or even Indy films of the last decade, you will probably walk away unimpressed. But, as one of my favorite characters in Zenith rants into the camera, judging things without contributing or making something yourself can be self-defeating. Productionwise, the acting is superb, the look and camera-work amazing, the directing masterful, and the amount of complex philosophical questions squeezed into a 90 minute joyride (with sex and violence and suspense) makes Zenith a unique brilliant film.
