Reviews

Gale Aby It is low budget, but very well made. Good screenplay, nice acting. The story is captivating, while the ideas that the movie explores can make you ponder life for a long time after you watched it.It is like a more sci-fi version of Inception that explores the ideas instead of making a show of them.I thoroughly like it, bar a few minor issues with the screenplay that make it hard to understand in what kind of reality the actions are taking or took place sometimes. Few of those connections I'm still missing even after re-watching parts of the movie.Solid 7.5/10. There is much more potential to explore with the plot, so I hope someone does a sequel with a deeper idea and bigger budget.

bennygirl-99169 Overall, a good sci-fi and a neat world, but as other users pointed out, felt the ending was quite weak. Also, although the runtime is only about an hour and a half, it felt much, much longer (and like the movie should have ended 30 minutes before it actually does).Ultimately, Black Mirror has been there, done that, but better and more compellingly. Still glad we are getting more of these type of smaller-budget films with interesting premises. In a similar vein, I also watched ARQ, which I thought was a bit more fun to watch (although ARQ is also a premise we have seen many times, done better)

ozsud My only regret is I stayed to the end, misled by the other reviews. Very low budget movie, I can't believe this kind of movie makes any money.

tomntempe A real snooze fest. I gave up 22 minutes in. The movie was going nowhere, literally... we were trapped in the "lab" building so to speak with endless scenes of vials with automatic squirting fillers doing something but who knows what, it was never explained. In fact, pretty much nothing was ever explained, it was all just mysterious "we can do this that and the other thing just by saying it". The brother, who presumably has been in a vegetative state for a while, looks like he just stepped off the cover of GQ and laid down in a hospital bed for a quick nap before going to his next model shoot. The Main girl scientist? programmer? savant? went around looking all pouty while her boyfriend was forced to party without her yet of course the boyfriend was not moving on. And in this world of presumably micro this and that since we are dealing with literally molecular level adjustments in the brain the girl can just intuit the "numbers" as if being "close enough" for brain surgery (by chemicals) is plenty good enough. There was not even a pretense of "science" presented, it's all just wave your hand and "make it so" movie science. Really, it's just boring boring boring. How anyone found this turkey compelling is beyond me.
