It's Complicated

Escape From The 21st Century

You could call it life-changing to find out that you can travel back and forth 20 years in time with one sneeze. This is actually how a group of chosen teenagers from Planet K feel, jumping back and forth between two phases of life. They must overcome the challenges of youth and save the world at the same time.

«What special effects do you want?» — «Yes.» The conversation must have been something like this when ESCAPE FROM THE 21ST CENTURY went into production. This Chinese blockbuster cinema not only delivers the most insane camera shots, but also pretty much every special effect that you can produce with today's technology. Insanely overexcited with consistently high speed, lots of humor and non-stop action that makes your jaw drop down again and again.

A crazy firework of effects and mad fight scenes, packed into a Scottpilgrimeske scenario that is more reminiscent of games than cinema. A must see on the big screen!
