Thought Provoking but Ultimately Falls Flat

Rating: 6/10 (29 September 2016)

This film started as very intriguing, complex and thought provoking but as it drifted onwards It became more convoluted and less relatable, which left me feeling like I couldn't identify with what I was witnessing on screen.
The plot is about loneliness, love and technology and how those things become more and more intertwined as we move forward in life. That part I can understand but along the way It all felt a bit too cold, and certain scenes amplified how this view on loneliness and the deep seeded need for love conflicted with my personal experience in the real world and thus it wasn't plausible or relatable, to me.
As complex as it was there was major giveaways that told us how the film was going to end, With his "Married" friend being the biggest giveaway that it all would become a simple boy finds girl love story. The film moved at a decent pace but there was a distinct lack of any real hard hitting major scenes, which left it all feeling slightly flat. The actors done an average job with what they had to work with and it was nice to see the likes of Chris Pratt making an appearance.
Overall a tepid out-there one time watch that by the end leaves you feeling as unfulfilled as the main character was.
