The worst movile ever
biancabibix134 June 2022
Even the dialogues are embarrassing. Everything is bad about this movie.

The historic information about romans and dacs are wrong...and phones...? And a Rocket? And the actors are playing really bad. It Is bot even funny ...It Is nothing.

Waste of time
TheMustardNerd4 June 2022
If it wasn't for the soundtrack and the nice landscapes I would've given this film a 1/10. The characthers are uninteresting,the acting is mid, the story is boring, the structure of the narrative is messy, the jokes are unfunny and distasteful and the overall experience felt like I was wasting my time. I definitely not recommend seeing this in theaters sorry.

bad movie
poetulnecunoscut13 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Most of the cast are not actors, they play so poorly. Bad lines, they dont depict nothing historical and nothing to satire, some of the script may be legit with nowadays in present Romania, but i dont understand why they used geto-dacian for that. Is nothing funny, can't believe netflix is founding this type of movies, is as bad as Wiseau's "The room"

I'm ashamed..
nonamea-5054717 June 2022
I'm Romanian and I'm very disappointed that we make this kind of cringe mockery movies, is not even comedy the script is very bad I didn't even laugh at any jokes they think that are made to be funny, but they aren't any jokes to laugh! I think this movies is only for low brain people who can't even read that is the public for this movie! This is the reason I prefer watch Korean series! Romanian movies industry is a big joke! Not wonder why analphabetism rate in Romania is 40%..because of this movies that not teach you anything!

Great expectations, no delivery
marius-bancila22 June 2022
I hoped this would be something funny maybe even smart but it was just idiotic and not funny at all. Does not worth the time. There is no beginning and no end. There is nothing making sense. There is little making you laugh. Look for something else.

Only romanians will understand
liviubs5 June 2022
This movie is a great comedy, but one only romanians will understand.. It contains subtle jokes about the romanian society, corruption, moronic people, patriotic fanatism, and many more. It's difficult to understand the movie if you are not a romanian, or didn't at least live in Romania.

You have to take it with a pinch of salt. Many romanians get triggered because they find themselves in there. Take a chill pill and enjoy, it's a comedy.

Dacia victor!
georgepanait-0689323 April 2022
Saw the movie on the opening night with some friends, and we liked it.

The action is set in ancient occupied Dacia ( actual Romania), in the post roman wars times, and depicts the adventures and struggles of three commoners who are in the search for some meaning and glory in their life, using all the means to trick both local and imperial authority, and being half-wits, but sly, luck seems to shine upon them occasionally.

The action may be set in ancient times, but the theme is not out of date, and i saw the movie as a satire filled with comedy on the actual romanian society in particular, and society in general.

The score was inspired, as was the casting department. I enjoyed the camera work and direction in particular.

Highly recommended!

Funny If You Understand The Comedy Behind It
The movies was really fun to watch and had a lot of funny scenes in it with subtle (or not so subtle) references to what some people in Romania believe Dacians were.

If you don't know about the jokes about people who believe Dacians invented a lot of things but "the foreign people" stole those ideas, the secret Dacian passages under Bucegi mountains, things about Romanian culture and society, etc... you won't find the movie fun to watch. That's the reason why there is a lot of tech/modern instruments in this parody... because they make fun of people who actually believe that Dacians invented "everything" and the Romans stole their "tech".

Looking forward for part 2 :D.

Truly a masterpiece 👏 🙌
poppypelt9 June 2022
This movie is just amazing. Every part of it. Even the advertising. The jokes are extremely subtle and go over your head if you are not paying attention but I was dying laughing. The subtlety. Genius. Genius!!!

Film by Romanians for Romanians, inside jokes are half of them. Also, "smart " jokes. Am I saying you are not smart if you dont get them? Well, also beautiful scenery too. And so much wordplay 😆😆

If you are looking for a Genius comedy movie as a romanian this is the movie. This is what you are looking for. With all that said, Barza varza viezure!

At last!
valciocsan21 December 2023
Finally, afer years of waiting, I'm glad that my fellows from Romania have given a really absurd, but in my taste of comedy. Yes, scenes and situations remindded me of Mel Brooks or Monty Python (and other great comedians), but overall, a Romanian film which do not expose the black days of communism or present gray of today living. Just enjoy and laugh like I did! Idid not understand why this film has such a low percentage of good rewiews.

Wonderful landscapes of our country, great scenography, no faulty acting, insane idea and story unflawed by nothing. Great satire from from start, when a child brings a corn cob to his mother (or so), mailing a message... In my opinion, is a fantastic satire against the fanatics who reinvent the Dacia's history. Anyway, it their right to appear as they are.
