Storyline

On 21. September 2013, telecommunications satellite APV-1312 belonging to French media group CanalDouble crashes into the Brandenburg Gate, cutting a trail of destruction as far as the Reichstag. 56 delegates die. Thirteen minutes later, all around the world more and more satellites plummet to earth. Communications, as we have known them, are collapsing everywhere. West of Geneva. At the largest research laboratory in the world, with a budget of one billion dollars, an experiment has failed that is going to throw the whole world off its hinges. Scientists from 80 nations have simulated the Big Bang with the so-called 'God Machine', the world's greatest particle accelerator, and thereby created a Black Hole. Reaching Geneva turns into a tour de force for our heroes, through a country that like its neighbors is in a state of total emergency, but equally into a time of human encounters. A time, where courage overcomes the fear and human beings do not shut themselves off but take decisive...

Sharknado for physicists! (But worse!)

This movie is so awfully bad that it is great again. Grab yourself a bunch of physicists, hard liquor and try to follow the epic plot of this miracle. Prepare for a movie so bad that it could not even get product placement and had to relabel the Mars bars in the vending machines. We had to pause every once in a while to recap and discuss how this is not how things are supposed to work. So this is one of Germany's most expensive TV productions meaning some states chipped in and demanded that therefore they have to be in this movie. This explains why the so called heroes have to pick cucumbers in the beginning before travelling all over the country on their way to Geneva, and also there are people trapped in a mine somewhere for reasons. Part of the story takes place at an unspecified accelerator in Geneva because CERN rightfully felt insulted when being approached to lend the name to this movie and was having none of it. I don't want to spoil the rest of the plot and just realized I am wasting my time writing a review for this thing.

You might like this movie if: you are a physicist with a taste for bad movies need to kill time at a test beam played half-life 2 and want to see how it ends like sharknado or really bad movies in general
