    I don't know about you, but I found Oppenheimer's three-hour runtime last year a bit much - but it's nothing in comparison to the longest ever movie ever made.

    Unless you are some kind of maniac, you're certainly not going to finish this film in one sitting. In fact, it's going to take you many, many goes.

    Titled Logistics, the 2012 Swedish movie written and created by Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson was dubbed an 'experimental film' at the time of its release.

    Inspiration for the movie was drawn in 2008, when the two writers wanted to look into where modern electronic gadgets originated from.

    "The production cycle of a pedometer in reverse chronological order," the IMDb synopsis of the film reads.

    The entire film was shot in real time from a store in Stockholm to a factory in China, with some of the stops along the way including Insjön, Gothenburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, and Malaga.

    Sound good? Well, if you want to watch the film, then you'll need a whopping 51,420 minutes free time on your hands. Yep, you read that right.

    That's 857 hours, or 35 days and 17 hours, long - meaning it takes five weeks to finish.

    At this stage, we mighty typically take you through some of the reviews of said film and the Rotten Tomatoes score it has achieved.

    But with how long Logistics is, very few people have finished it. I mean, even the most dedicated of film critic is going to struggle with this one.

    Nonetheless, there are some 'user reviews' on IMDb that provide interesting reading.

    "I saw this movie in theaters, despite having work the next day. I didn't get out of the theater until 4:39 AM a month later and I got fired," one person joked.

    They continued: "The movie was alright. Not worth the $12,000 USD ticket for the movie with free snacks included."

    While a second added: "To be honest, around day 17 hour 2 I was wondering when this movie would pick up, but surely enough around day 24, hour 17 it just went wild. My compliments to the filmmakers and all the actors. I successfully only went to the bathroom twice during the film."

    Yep, nobody has watched this film, have they?

    But if you want to give it a go, then you'll need to book your entire annual leave allowance first.
