Epic, immersive and original worlds have been built for new and innovative portal puzzles.The first Portal game was set in a much more ideal and clean Aperture Centre, however, ‘Eidolon’ hasn’t simply mirrored what’s already been done, the developers have created something new, based loosely off of the source material. ‘Eidolon’ goes above and beyond in creating an ultramodern, futuristic testing facility for players.
As Portal 2 is mostly set in dystopian ruins with nature running its course through the facility, it’s so exciting to have some challenging portal puzzles set in a perfect and prime setting.

Also as usual, the director insured the presence of talented actors in the lead ( Waltz ) to give life to a slightly noisy and unhinged machine, made smooth by equally prestigious guests ( Matt Damon and his trompe l’œil costumes, Tilda Swinton as a software psychiatrist). Another anachronistic feature: the “futuristic” vehicles are a placement of an electric car by a French brand, which can be seen on our roads today.Īs often with Gilliam, the messy side of the screenplay is not particularly disturbing, in that it corresponds to the psychology of the main character and the decadent frenzy of the portrayed society. The mathematical equation as an existential metaphor ( π by Darren Aronofsky), young people dancing in nightclubs listening to their iPods ( The 6th Day by Roger Spottiswoode), the beach as a metaphor for a virtual refuge ( Dark City by Alex Proyas) and the whore with a big heart, now a cinematographic archetype, are only but a few examples amongst others that make us think that Gilliam was revisiting the past when he was supposed to takes us into the future. With its old-fashioned charm, the film resembles a compilation of elements borrowed from other places and we are surprised by the director’s intention of “making a film which would be different from all that we have seen before.” For fans of the genre, it is difficult to get rid of the many déjà vu impressions.
However, The Zero Theorem is far from being a revolution for the genre. Gilliam returns to the paths of anticipation films, which he knows well for having taken them before ( Brazil, 12 Monkeys…). His only distraction in this task is played by Bainsley ( Melanie Thierry) with whom the beginning of a virtual relationship emerges. Management ( Matt Damon), his strange boss, entrusts him with resolving an existential theorem of the utmost importance. The man refuses to leave his house because he is expecting an enigmatic phone call, which is supposed to change his existence. Qohen Leth ( Christoph Waltz) is a computer genius who lives as a recluse in a ruined chapel in the heart of London.
