Dance To Death, Russian sci-fi from 2017

My profile normally is focus on Asian movies but this Russian sci-fi movie is so good I couldn't resist, Dance to Death or Tournament of Death is a mix of HR Gieger and Matrix art work plus break dance.

Kostya is a filter smuggler who ran into trouble with a street gang, one day he steals filter from a higher authority and he becomes arrested and selected for the Arena. Arena is a break dance tournament that collect energy from every opponent, if an opponent lose his/her soul will be lost and travelled to earths core. Will Kostya be sacrificed or will he find a way to escape?

The movie is from 2017 and it's wonderful because finally a movie with a new idea. In the beginning of 2010s we haven't had many new idea of stories, mostly remake or reboots. Dance to death gives a new blood of movie and feels exiting every minute.


I give this movie a complete 10/10, perhaps too much, but I favor for it's new idea and deserves credits.

10/10
