Summary: The Butterfly Effect meets the Many Worlds Theory
Review: This movie was just way too much fun!This film owes a deliciously quirky debt to Chaos Theory and Quantum Mechanics. Chaos Theory includes the Butterfly Effect which describes causal equations whose outcome are susceptible to very fine changes of input. (e.g. the air currents stirred by a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil starts a chain of atmospheric changes that effect whether or not it rains in New York.) In quantum mechanics, the Many Worlds Theory explains temporal paradoxes by proposing that for every possible variation of every event, a parallel universe is spawned which continues a particular chain of events. Our butterfly Lola flaps her wings over here and people meet, get married, age, and die over there. She flaps her wings a little differently and cars crash, people fight, Manni lives. The story is propelled by a brilliant pulse-quickening techno-dance soundtrack produced in part by the director. The movie, as a whole, works, hurling the audience towards the mutable, uncertain conclusion. Unfortunately, all is not perfect. The dubbed English dialog, at best, features uninspired performances and, at worst, completely discolors the movie. Fortunately, the art shines through this detracting artifact and the film still rates a "five."

Summary: Ich weiß ja nicht !
Review: Also ich finde es ja toll, dass ein deutscher Film in den USA so gut ankommt, aber ich habe ihn bei uns in Deutschland im Kino gesehen und dachte mir "wie lange rennt die denn noch" und "warum rennt die schon wieder". Mein Freundin fand den Film aber echt klasse. Von den vier Leuten die wir waren gibt einer 5 Sterne, 2 geben drei Sterne und ich gebe dem Film 2 Sterne. Würde ihn mir aber niemals auf DVD oder Video kaufen.

Summary: A Must See Movie, Do Not Miss Out
Review: After watching Lola Rennt for the fifth time, its safe to say that this is an excellently written; an excellently directed; and an excellently acted movie. All of these aspects of the movie come together, fit perfectly, work perfectly together to make a excellent movie. This fast paced German masterpeice should be the one movie in '99/00 you should not miss out. The movie was recently released on Video, so if you were not fortunate enough to see it in theatres, be sure to go down to your local video store to pick it up. The movie is based around Lola (Franka Potente) who must save her boyfriend from certain death, and do it in twenty minutes while picking up 20 000 marks on the way there. As I don't want to go too deeply into the plot, I will stop there, if you want to learn more please read the spoiler section of the reviews. Not too go to deeply into it again, the movie is of Lola running througout a German city to get from place to place to collect money in time. THe camera work on the running scene's is fast paced. Different and interesting camera angles and perspectives make this movie a sight to see. The story itself, simple enough, is helped out by the use of symbolism thoughout the movie. While watching try to pick up on some of these symbols in it. Even after watching it five times there are still things that can be missed. I've talked to many fans of the movie that have pointed out some of these aspects of them film. It really is something you must see for yourself.

Summary: Very interesting.... like nothing i have seen before
Review: In my German class, one boy brought this movie in. I really didn't know what to expect, because most movies we see in German class are a bit old.. this one is very different, and creative. I have never seen anything so different, and imaginative. It is very well done, and interesting. Nothing that anyone should miss seeing.

Summary: Run and get this movie
Review: Along with "The Matrix," "Run Lola Run," is the most visually exciting film of 1999. And it has the advantage of an even better screenplay. The film's gimmick is that it is three versions of the same movie, Lola rushing to save her boyfriend from a drug dealer as a industrial rock soundtrack keeps time. It starts out so kinetic, you don't believe it can keep the pace through the whole film. Surprise! it does. Like "The Matrix," this film will leave you feeling simultaneous exhilerated and exhausted.

Summary: Buy the other DVD version
Review: Run Lola Run is an exceptional movie with terrific characters, direction and rocking soundtrack! (note: The English dubbing is rather weak in the first 20 minutes...poor synchronization) I recommend buying the DVD version that contains the Franke Potente video instead of the new "bare bones" DVD version.

Summary: Incredible film, but only in widescreen
Review: Run Lola Run was most definitely the alternative hit movie of 1999. While many movies were excellent in the past year, this stood head and shoulders above most of them. A little, comparatively low budget film, its director Tom Tykwer (with his meaningful, if not literal, film debut) and strangely intriguing star (Franke Potente) draw you into a world of possibilties, 3 possible possibilities to be exact. While Lola (Potente) spends three 20 minute sections of the movie running, frenetically rushing about to save her boyfriend Manni's (Moritz Bleibtreu) life, the movie shifts from tripped out cuts to animated interludes all to a pulsating techno soundtrack. The viewer is taken along with Lola to experience her choices, even the most subtle, and how they affect not only the outcome but also the world around her. Woven into it, however, are Lola and Manni's life together and throughout the film, bits of their psyches can be pieced together to discover their very realistic relationship. The way Tykwer incorporated character development into three 20 minute hyper-paced acts is brilliant. Run Lola Run is definitely a star film of 1999. It deserves to be seen on the big screen, but the DVD or VHS widescreen would be acceptable substitutes, as certain things are lost to the pan & scan cropping. Make sure to steer clear of the dubbed version; even those of you who hate subtitles will thank yourselves.
