Absolutely Fantastic

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Just like most shows if you read the comments below where people stopped after 30 minutes or 1 episode that's dumb. Like everyone else I love game of thrones but even that takes a few episodes to get interesting. This show was no different. After about 2 episodes it picks up. It also has some good plot twists and isn't entirely predictable.

Yes, this is as bad as everyone says. It starts with the main character who, besides being and playing an @whole, also looks unlikable, with his Daffy Duckish head. One simply doesn't care for him. Now, he seems to be the brother of the director and he does some producing too, so this explains his lead.Not ALL actors are bad, but like 80-90%, which includes all main characters and the lead. Also, if you're watching a film with no female nudity whatsoever, which studiously avoids it, but shows MALE nudity, there's a 90% guarantee this is some type of gay thing. This is a flic made by three brothers, of whom at least two could be gay, based on this movie. If this is an attempt to normalize gayness, or to represent, PLEASE STOP! You're not doing gaydom any favors, not that you should be held accountable for all gay people, but still. As an LBGT person, I say to you: you've hurt the cause. Try harder, or better yet, don't try at all.And the story is fairly unimaginative: dystopian future, due to climate change (the film is also hurting that cause) with an overt elite (hello, Elysium) that institutes a police state to oppress an underclass with a Big Brotherish NSA-like computer-system. Then, there's the Hero with the Elitist-Turned-Activist parents, the unlikely yet Lovable Sidekick/Love Interest girl from Da Hoods, played by a minority to get that whole Cinderelle feeling going.So, yes, it's chock-full of clichés, and NOT ONE thing is original, and the casting is a little throwback to the 50s, when White Males had 90% of all the movie roles. This is the same. Females are completely subservient to the story, as are the two minor black characters: one is a street thug with one scene. oh well. 1/10 The Melancholic Alcholic.

is it a spoiler to say that almost every character in this movies is just way too angry or was that just me?. character depth... the movie doesn't explain why either. is that just suppose to be how society evolved? the beginning dialog is pretty weak. redo/add a few parts and this could actually be a decent movie... the characters say very little useful info if anything at all. congrats you made cops look really unintelligent and corrupt? the beginning has lots of questions most don't get answered.. in the middle people start dying and the magic computer solves all the murders... at the end, the main character comes back after running away but then says he's not staying LOL.. oh and we never find out who's killing people and why. there were 2 scenes with some sonic pulse gun but i guess they don't give them to all the cops, or maybe it's just Wednesday's that they get them (there and gone - without a trace). IDK pretty weak probably should have changed those 2 scenes to mesh with the rest of the movie (knives only maybe? technology?).i can't imagine this type of movie being easy to make without lots of money so props for that! the actors and actresses looked like they did the best they could with the weak-sauce lines they were fed (beginning was kinda rough). probably the main thing i didn't like was how as new characters were introduced each demonstrated 1 kind of personality(inpatient, bad at their job, and angry). there's just so many unanswered questions. The story is a little Skippy with a few pointless encounters. who was the bad guy? the story line needed just a little more thought or something to make it all fit/flow together..pretty much only managed to watch the whole thing because of the cute Asian(Elfina Luk). she should be in all the movies, seriously why isn't she? tell me now...

I like bad films. Films that are 'so bad it's good', but this? It's just bad. So awful that I stopped watching after 25 minutes and I can't remember ever doing that before. The acting is wooden, which I can overlook in films because they're entertainingly bad and have redeeming features, but this was just painful to watch. The main character is uninteresting, there are too many irrelevant characters and interactions, and it seems in this futuristic vision everyone is an *sshole. For a city sector that is crumbling the pavements are surprisingly clean, but this film is a mess. The UK DVD cover looks like it should be an action movie, the synopsis read like it had potential, so for £3 in ASDA I took a chance on it but it's going straight to the charity shop.
