Reviewmatrix meets blade runner. great idea for a film though it lacks something in its execution. a bit on the predictable side as far as plot goes. funny that this and gamer came out so close to each other. films like these really aren’t too far from reality. sci-fi in general is an exaggeration of current societal trends and this falls into that category, but isn’t as exaggerated as some others. ending lasted about one beat too long. i find that is often the case. filmmakers need to realize that movies don’t always need a nice soft landing. sometimes it’s better to just cut to black and let the audience sort things out.
