The movie is not solely about its concept. I would not try to explain each and every scene and the ramifications of it, because, frankly, there are too many explanations. In the film, due to passing of the comet, the realities that are not chosen don’t collapse, but continue to exist, and that’s what makes the whole plot complex and interesting. Depending on the decision of the airlines agent, one reality will collapse whereas the other reality will live on. At that moment, before the airlines agent makes a decision to whether to let you in or not, two realities exist in one of them you board the plane and in another you don’t. You reach the check-in desk exactly at 3:30 pm. You have to check-in at least half-an-hour before the departure time, otherwise the airlines won’t allow you to board the flight. So, to explain it through an example: Let’s say you have to board a flight, which is scheduled to depart at 4 pm. But what is exactly Schrödinger’s cat theory? In simple terms, it is the possibility of existence of multiple simultaneous realities at the same time. ‘Coherence’ is essentially based on a scientific theory referred to as Schrödinger’s cat theory. But unlike ‘Primer’, some answers become easily evident. Like ‘Primer’, there is a lot going on suddenly and a lot to wrap your head around. A clever plot device-the loss of cell phone signal because of the passing of a comet-is introduced early on and becomes the anchor of the movie. Such a start would seem like a gamble but the execution here is especially noteworthy because there is a sense of unease in the air. This is very important as it rapidly lures the viewer into a rather humdrum conversation about relationships and family and normal dinner chit-chat.

A very unassuming start, of course, but it sets the mood effectively. The movie starts off with a group of friends meeting for dinner. It’s good that the title doesn’t give anything away and you get into the movie with a sense of wonder. Today, we are going to talk about another speculative gem of a movie – ‘Coherence’.
