slow sci-fi

Rating: 7/10 (5 November 2017)

The story advances slower than a snail on Valium, add the occasional booming "noise" they sent through the speakers (I'm guessing that was part of the atmosphere) and you end up with a pretty annoying movie. Looking past that, things clear up a bit. The futuristic world looks realistic, it's the future, without being too far ahead.
Story wise, the movie has little to tell. Sure, there is your evil enterprise taking over or controlling the world in some way or another, but nothing you haven't seen before. Nothing disturbingly bad, nothing extraordinary either.
The characters are for the most part fitting for the story, though I wish they would have developed some of the backgrounds a little more. For a movie that shows an overpopulated world, their are not many people passing the screen.
The cinematography was what made this movie, the downfall of the planet combined with the high-tech holograms show a, in my opinion, realistic possibility of how our own future might look like.
And of course, keep your eyes open for the details. It's a solid movie and for a sequel not all bad, but take in account a long run time and a slow story.
