Films with Sci-fi themes, it can be said, require media and production sites that are like the technology of the future world. The director and writer of the film Coherence, namely James Ward Byrkit, who maybe some don't know him in the film world, I mean, thus presupposes it as Nolan's debut in the film Following. In my opinion, there are similarities in terms of the commercial output of these two films, which are in line with the plot.

In contrast to Coherence which relies on dialogue in the dining room set . The meeting of couples who know each other, with characterization names composed of one to two syllables, in order to make it easier for the audience who will be confused to follow the story, the scenes of which are packaged de javu for the night of their meeting. Gossip comet approaching the earth, is the audience's reasoning during the duration of Coherence 1 hour 29 minutes.

With the phenomenal ignorance of science to come their way, the easygoing manner and pleasantries of the cast wash away the focus on the dramatic , even though the full conflict will begin with this phenomenal. But the actor named Hobs, who in the dialogue said has a relative who works on comet research, does not have perfect clarity to describe a tension that is still visible from the indifference of each character. With that, the acting weakness of the actors who psychologically have to succeed, becomes one of the weaknesses in this film. But the flow of the scene presented, managed to be understood by the audience with maximum focus.

The audience is challenged in digesting scenes that deliver the same characters and set locations in one problem, which is like a multiverse dimension that is analogous to the distance between stairs on the earth's surface, which is caused by an approaching comet. Here we can guess which house is really the residence of Beth and Hugh. The closeness that does not want to be separated by a relationship that is considered the dimension of reality, makes each character want to maintain their dimensional form. So that the randomness of life is imagined in the story idea Out of The Box by James Ward.

Imagine our lives being messed up by the same form but a different world. This is where the actors are less successful in their agility in starting conflicts. Or the director's instructions that are anticlimactic cause this to happen in the ending that is felt. It's just that the message conveyed, in my opinion, is very relevant to life, where some people want to repeat and even replace the people they care about. Maybe that's what I caught in the film Coherence. But behind it all, there is a meaning that can be considered, that is, don't trust the people closest to you, even householders who have lived together for years, we cannot fully trust them.
