Haven't seen original sci-fi this good since original Blade Runner.

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2018)

Here is some great, though-provoking, stylistic sci-fi featuring some fantastic up-and-coming young actors. My bread and butter being films like Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Solaris, Sunshine and Elysium, this film hits right in my wheelhouse. Excellent narrative and visual style. Patient and evocative, reminiscent of Ridley Scott's finest form, Alex Garland would seem a VERY promising director. Too many new directors out there failing because they don't exhibit narrative patience or evoke feeling through lighting, angles and framing. None of those shortcomings with Alex Garland. Fantastic use of resources make this film stand out above it's bigger budget peers. Alicia Vikander is as lovely and elegant a creature as they come and should do nicely to grace our screens for years to come. This film addresses concepts of what it means to be human and the question of artificial intelligence similarly to Blade Runner, A.I. and the anime Ghost in the Shell.
