Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you an action science fiction film: "Coma"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a view of the futuristic metropolitan city
All of a sudden, everything deteriorates,
which leads to what seems to be a memory of a car crash with an unknown woman
Suddenly, the Architect wakes up in a room full of architect stuff
He groggily explores the room,
and sees a photo of him with a woman who can't be recognized, since her image has smears on it
He continues moving around the room,
and discovers that everything inside is deteriorating due to a dark substance
He then goes out of the building where he is, and sees that everything outside is also deteriorating
He figures that the dark substance is consuming it
He walks outside, and witnesses that every building is not placed properly,
and everything is not normal
Some buildings are turned upside down, sideways, twisted, and connected by dark material
The Architect also bumps into physically deteriorating people,
but doesn't seem to respond with his presence
Afterward, he walks up to a building with a deteriorating facade
He unintentionally lifts his hands;
and the building's facade in front of him mysteriously goes back to the way it was
His eyes wander; and he notices a dark monstrous figure from afar
The dark monstrous figure spots him
It runs to him, and is about to attack him, but it eventually stops
Three strangers, Fly, Phantom, and Pilot, emerge from nowhere and save the Architect
They lead him to escape the dark monstrous figure
The four of them run as the dark monstrous figure chases them
From running non-stop, they reach a bridge directing to a city lake
They have nowhere to go
Fly, Phantom, and Pilot jump to the water but stop mid-air
and then they are pulled upwards to the top of the building, that is turned upside down
The Architect hesitates to jump at first;
but when the dark monstrous figure appears behind him,
he eventually jumps and joins the rest of the group
As he lands on top of the building, the dark monstrous figure continues to pursue them
Phantom gets his chance to shoot the monster; but it consequently wounds his left palm
As the dark monstrous figure continues to hunt the four of them,
the Pilot thinks of something to save them
He pulls out three thin cylinder bombs,
and a larger metallic tube which appears to be bombs and its controller
He then approaches the dark monstrous figure, and triggers the bombs
The dark monstrous figure explodes together with Pilot
After Pilot sacrifices himself to save the group from the monster,
the Architect asks Phantom and Fly what's going on and where they are
Phantom doesn't respond to his question,
but instead returns a question to the Architect if he wants to join them
The Architect eventually joins Fly and Phantom
While they are walking in the strange world, the Architect asks Fly what happened to him
Fly answers him that she doesn't know
The Architect then suspects that he is dead;
but Fly contradicts his theory, and explains that he is in a comatose state
Fly continues and tells him that everybody in this specific world is in a coma;
and the universe is made up of fragmented recollections from the other coma-ridden individuals
We can see that the protagonist mysteriously awakens with a rational mind in a world,
that makes no sense to anybody, full of pictures snatched away, hurled here and there,
and pasted mostly overhead under no predefined order
As Fly stated, the concept is whenever individuals slip into a deep coma,
they physically live inside their minds in a shared realm,
a world filled with events from memories, that are constantly changing and deteriorating
The surroundings are the linked perspectives of all the occupants,
rather than a single person's perspective
Fly and Phantom continue to lead the Architect
While walking, the Architect keeps on asking about the world he is in
Fly stops him, and heals the wound on his forehead using her hand
Eventually, Phantom asks Fly to secure the perimeter
When the Architect asks Fly where they are going, Fly points overhead
The Architect sees a huge and rust-covered warehouse turned upside down
Right after, the three of them reach an old and rusty bus
Phantom let Fly and the Architect inside the bus
Fly then leads the Architect through the inside of the bus
To the Architect's surprise, he can see that half of the bus
has changed its environment through the windows
He realizes that the place is the warehouse he saw a while ago
The Architect deciphers that the people here have built a community
The three of them go out of the bus,
and are greeted by Tank, Spirit, and Astronomer, who seems to be part of the community
Spirit emotionally looks for Pilot
Phantom tells them what happened,
and defensively tells Spirit that there's nothing they could do
since the district they have been in is dangerous
Phantom even remarks that the map given by Astronomer, is useless
Astronomer argues that it is not his fault, since they are rushing him,
and places in this realm change from time to time
They argue about what happened; but eventually, they are stopped by Yan
After Phantom indirectly expresses that Pilot's death is not anyone's fault
Rather, it is the rescue mission for the Architect itself
Yan appears, and remarks that whatever they did was definitely worth it pertaining to the Architect
After their argument becomes heated, Fly leads the Architect to Yan
Fly discusses further the realm they are in
She also mentions that Yan wants to save the Architect,
because he could be the key to finding the island that is free of reapers
The Architect eventually gets the name of the dark monstrous creature, and that is the reaper
The Architect learns that Yan is the leader of the built community
Fly tells him that Yan has been living in that realm for a long time;
and he taught every person in the community to survive
Fly also emphasizes that everyone in the community owes their lives to Yan
As the Architect spends his first night at the community,
he dreams of flashes of memories that are not clear
He sees a sketchpad with a drawing of a futuristic city,
an inside of an intricately-designed building,
an image of him inside a car with a woman then a car crash happens
He eventually wakes up to see a deteriorating car, turned upside down inside his room
He approaches it and sees himself inside it
He also sees that the wall of his room starts to open up;
and he can see a building that is erected outside
He is about to go outside when Phantom enters his room, and begins imposing his authority
Phantom tells the Architect not to wander outside the now open room,
because that is his manifested dreams; and it can be tricky
Phantom also warns the Architect to stay away from Fly
and that even Yan runs the built community, he still leads the squad
He also remarks that even Yan sees something special about the Architect,
Yan has made many mistakes before
The next day, Phantom shows the ropes to the Architect
He explains the nuances of this new universe to him
As he previously said, after a person awakes from their coma,
they are back to doing serious work in their body
Phantom reveals to the Architect that people in the realm,
have developed special abilities according to their thinking and predisposition
Phantom adds that people need to be provoked to reveal their special abilities
Everyone watches as Phantom triggers the Architect with artificial machines,
to help him discover his ability and show everyone why he is special
To everyone's dismay, the Architect does not manifest any signs of abilities
The Architect continues to dream of events from his waking life,
including escaping a medical facility, and being involved in a freak accident
The next day, he begins working for the community
Yan talks to him and says that in this realm, he isn't bound by his physical limitations
He has the potential to improve his powers to the point where they are superhuman
Meanwhile, with Yan's approval, Phantom, Fly, Spirit, Astronomer, Tank, Gnome,
and Cable prepare to go outside to acquire explosives from a torpedo in a submarine,
despite Phantom being against it
the Architect joins them
We know now that people who have gone under a comatose state,
don't only reside in this realm, but they also develop and possess special abilities,
that can make them superhuman
Besides that, we are now aware that the threats in this realm are the reapers
We also figure that the Architect, aside from him learning the rules of the realm,
might have an ability that is special from the others, but is not yet known
As the group reaches their destination, the group is attacked by men wearing military uniforms
With Phantom's lead, they fight back and manage to kill all of the military members
Afterward, Astronomer gets angry at Phantom,
for making a scene that can cause the reapers to come to them
Phantom hurts and warns Astronomer for shouting at him
Phantom tells everyone that he is the leader of the group, so he is in charge
The group reaches the submarine, and everyone starts to work
Suddenly, as they continue to retrieve the explosives,
Spirit senses that the reapers are coming to them
Gnome eventually spots the reapers and warns everyone
Phantom orders everyone to retreat;
but Cable insists on finishing the job, since it is almost finished
Phantom then orders everyone to run and leave Gnome and Cable
However, the Architect doesn't listen to Phantom, and orders everyone to get back
All of them eventually return to help
The Architect begins to build a ramp through his mind
The ramp catches the explosives and ferries down to the group safely
The group then manages to get the explosives, and return safely to the community
Since the Architect's ability to build things is already known to the group,
they celebrate as they survive the attack of the reapers
Yan expresses his idea of building a perfect shelter for the community
through the power of the Architect
Yan's idea is to create an ideal world, where everyone in the community will live,
and they will not have any reason to go back to their waking life
After the Architect agrees that he can do it,
Yan assigns Astronomer to lead the squad in finding a place for their plan
To his demise, Phantom objects; but Yan's decision is already final
He tells Phantom that he may put everyone in danger due to his recklessness
The next day, they begin to lead the whole community in finding the perfect place
for the plan of building a perfect shelter
As the community heads out to begin a new life, the reapers attack them
Phantom, who has been jealous of the Architect,
seizes the opportunity to have the Architect killed by the reapers
However, Phantom does not succeed with his plan
The group saves the Architect and confronts Phantom
As the group address the betrayal of Phantom, he begins transforming into a reaper suddenly
Phantom runs away from them, as the reapers continue to attack them
Two of the reapers kill Gnome and Cable
The group continues to fight off the reapers as the community runs for their lives
As they are running from the reapers, the Architect feels unwell
All of a sudden, the architect wakes up from his unconscious state
In the waking life, the Architect recalls that he was ready to embark on a project,
that would allow him to build the city of his dreams after Yan gave him a chance
He also remembers that his relationship with his girlfriend was faltering,
since his career as an aspiring architect was not able to make ends meet
The Architect got a partnership with a medical organization that enabled innovations
Yan was in charge of the organization, which maintained coma patients in the basement
The coma patients were not actual patients, but random individuals who were outcasts from society
With the medical organization, Yan aimed to establish a haven for them to escape the actual world,
as time passes more quickly in the dream realm, allowing them to live several lives there
Yan aimed to put the Architect in a comatose state,
to build the futuristic city he dreams of erecting
But The Architect disagreed and ran away, terrified of the organization
He was rescued by his girlfriend
who resembles Fly and they attempted to flee in a car
but later got into a car accident
It turns out that The Architect chose to enter the dream realm to save his lover
After learning the truth, the Architect returns to the dream realm,
and constructs Yan's ideal shelter in the clouds
However, Yan turns against them and abandons them
They realize that if they discover their dreaming bodies in the dream realm,
they will emerge from their comatose state, since someone should remember them
They rush to the institute, and are eventually assaulted by Yan
but Yan is killed by the turned-reaper Phantom
The movie ends with the Architect and Fly waking up,
and finally escaping the comatose communal space and the medical innovation facility
We see that natural phenomena do not cause individuals to fall into a comatose state
Instead, it is staged by Yan, the head of the medical organization,
to reside in the dream realm where living seems to be perfect
We can also tell that Fly is actually the Architect's girlfriend
We can conclude with the discussion that begs the question of what is between reality and illusion
