High concept paranoia / soft SF, wrapped in a candy shell of hard SF action

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2019)

Not sure why so much hate for this. It's a somewhat typical (spoilers!) Nothing Is What It Seems To Be plot, with at least two of these big reveals of things that are surprising.
It is also Yet Another Post Apocalyptic movie.
But, it all works. It's a perfectly good paranoia / soft SF concept thing, wrapped in a candy shell of hard SF devices and a few gunfights, all of which (okay, aside from a few bits of grandstanding like the first dive off the tower platform) are entirely integral to the plot.
Not for a moment did I see anything where I thought that was dumb, or contrived. Several times I was entirely surprised at the turn it took; sure in retrospect you can see how that's a "typical" choice, but in film, it worked.
Visuals are lovely. Great art direction that reminds me of the 70s era soft SF stuff, taken to a beautiful conclusion it is today. Entirely believable VFX, which is critical. If the drones looked like they were on sticks, wires, or were models, it wouldn't have worked.
