The concept and the basic idea of the film was good, but it is quickly and unmercifully ruined by logical fallacies, bias and personal disposition. A film about students at the last day of philosophy and logic class, voting in a politician in the bunker because "she can make decisions". This coming from a film that advertises the students with the tags "smart" and "talented". At WHAT exactly? Because surely not at making decisions.
The film scarifies an extreme amount of sanity and rationality, just to try and get across the script writer's beyond awesome conclusion. Amongst the many: - Not being able to figure out a 5 digit password in 364 days. Even though the film begins with the example of a monkey reciting the Hamlet's complete works, given enough time. - Voting on who dies, because drawing straws (Which wouldn't make anyone a murderer) is too obvious. - Not being able to decide whether they are the only people left alive on earth or just one group amongst many, hiding in bunkers - Teacher shooting people at random to antagonize himself, then explains his presence as "wild-card" meaning he could be just as easily a sociopath as god himself, then wonders why he is left to die... - Ending up at the final "**** it all conclusion" which is completely fine with everyone as it turns out, but i guess you had to go through the whole "lets quickly decree 10 people to death so we could enjoy 364 days of holiday before the end of our lives".
Its just extreme. Watching the film left me with agonizing pain, mental scars and the realization that "philosophers" as the title, as well as every hint at school and logic were meant as irony, since you will find only its absence in the film.
