The best part of this movie is how pretty it looks

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2018)

I was a little disappointed by the simplicity of the story. I wasn't exactly expecting a very complicated plot, but I was hoping for a less Hollywood-like story and more originality, as the concept of the movie itself is pretty refreshing. And why does there always need to be a cliché love story?
There were also a few attempts at humour, but in my opinion they fell flat and felt forced. Didn't get a giggle out of me once.
However, the movie does looks fantastic. The racing scene and the zombies in the part from The Shining are probably my favourite bits.
The music is pretty cool, I enjoyed the 80s retro vibe in the futuristic dystopia.
The acting is decent but not noteworthy, especially seeing as a large part of the movie is computer-generated.
Of course, as a huge fan of video game culture, I appreciated the many references. You can spend a long time attempting to spot all of them!
Though I was kind of hoping for more, overall this movie is worth the watch. The pretty action scenes (almost) make you forget about the predictable story.
