Netherworld is the most mysterious place for human being. Thanks to Director Marco Kalantari, with his brilliant sci-fi talents, showing us his imaginary Netherworld through the journey of the Shaman.I believe the movie is prima facie a success with its excellent cast, soul stirring music, meticulous production, and most importantly, the incredible and invaluable post-production. No wonder its trailer had attracted 4 millions of views worldwide before the complete version of the short movie was actually launched.I especially like the scene that Joshua the Shaman "battles" with the Machine. It is not a physical confrontation at all. It is a battle between the souls of the Machine and the Shaman, the white and the dark and a man and a woman. I think the attempt of their manipulating each other's soul is the highlight of the movie. I especially like the interior dialogues of the Shaman, analyzing the strategies of the adverse party – Seduction, Diversion and Evasion. I really appreciate the efforts of the team. It is Best of the Best and it definitely worths far more than 5 millions views. I have no reservation to recommend it to my friends and family and all the movie-lovers, and sincerely hope there will be a 120-min version in the near future?

This short production is an outstanding piece of artwork for who is able to follow up the movie plot and understand its deep meanings. It is indeed a mind-blowing short movie, bringing together in a more insightful way a little bit of previous ideas from other Sci-Fi productions, like some concepts previously presented in The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, The Zero Theorem, Iron Sky, Jupiter Ascending, Edge of Tomorrow, Interstellar, etc. The special effects are really nice for a small production, and the actors' performance is captivating for such a complex and short story. I have watched it several times and will watch it many other times to come! I my view, this film enters in the category blockbuster with brains and soul.

I remember seeing a teaser about this film on io9 and getting excited for it. Sure enough, when I finally watched this short, it didn't disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would love to see the concept turned into a feature-length film. I was a bit confused when things seemed to change so much -- it reminded me a bit of Inception -- but after watching it again, I saw how it all tied together.The quality of the music and costume/prop design should be commended -- I really enjoyed the shorts they made about that process as well. I disagree with another commentator who criticized the acting, I thought it was poignant and well-done. Definitely commend the team for their hard work and hope to see more of this!

The idea is cool, the graphics are good, some of the actors are good, but the main one is not so good, and in some moment he's very bad, like when he shouts "it was an accident". But I may be influenced by the fact that I can't stand his face. There is something in him which deeply irritates me. If the main actor would have been more interesting I would have given this 8 or even 9. Well, 8 maybe, because the end was too abrupt for me. Overall anyway I have found the idea so cool that I would definitely agree with making a series out of this, but ONLY with another main actor. Lately I have reviewed "He never died", one of the most horrible films I have ever watched. They want to make a series out of that mess. It is so sad to see that people prefer a psychotic cannibal to a shaman warrior.
