Slow, brooding and darkly sexy thriller....

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2015)

I enjoyed this film, it appears to be a joint effort between Channel 4 Uk and Universal films where the combination works well, allowing the filmmaker to keep control over his vision yet giving him a budget to make something over the normal indie film scope.
E_M is a dark, brooding and sexy Sci-Fi with minor elements and inspiration from the films, 'The Stepford Wives','A.I' and 'Space Odyssey' - this film has an undercurrent of awkwardness and paranoia not often captured in Hollywood Blockbusters and is perfectly articulated in writing, direction and acting. if you are looking for a bombastic remake of T2 or I Robot you will be disappointed, this film is far more subtle and adult in theme and I think is very well done. The claustrophobic atmosphere and brooding tension of Duncan Jones', 'Moon' is more like this film in feel.
Young kids, lovers of all-guns blazing simplistic Sci-Fi Blockbusters will not particularly enjoy this feature, but I recommend to people who read Sci-F or perhaps have the time and brainpower to invest in a great film that delivers perfectly in it's brilliant conclusion.
