Sorry, this movie sucks
A Masterpiece!
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Before watching this film, I thought it would be an intelligent, thought-provoking sci-fi thriller, but then after wasting one and half an hour on it, I couldn't be disappointed more. As a reviewer before me pointed out, this movie is about three young scientists, who try to develop a software capable of uploading one's memories, but we see no new technology here. Instead these people are either almost constantly on different drugs or remembering when they were on drugs. How these junkies can be scientists is beyond me, when they are not capable of thinking clearly. Concerning the production values, this film is very cheap. The photography is amateurish (as if high-school students made it) and the sound so bad one can hardly understand the actors. The acting is wooden, with the exception of the performance of Nora Arnezeder (she plays "Z"), who is a very talented actress and tries her best in this drivel, but really deserves to act in better things in the future. In short: This flick is how a high-school student imagines an "innovative" a sci-fi thriller. Please, don't waste your time on it.
Like most of the movies starred Justin Chatwin, this is over the head for most of the viewers. As a sci-fi thriller film it focuses on a tech company, which is developing software capable of uploading a person's consciousness and memories to a virtual space. There is a lot of psychedelic drug referenced and shown used in the movie. But there is no special sort of instrument is shown in here, that's a huge downside. What is the fun and benefit of a sci-fi film, if you can't see a few future technology.
Amazing cast overall, justin chatwin managed to make believable a character that would sound impossible if described to you, smart, laid back, serious but careless and pretty funny when needed, he guides you through a not so impossible future where we choose between morals or actions that might do more bad than good. the visuals in this feature are not just original but clever, combining several principles in a unique way the movie manages to have its own personal visual concept while keeping it simple and sublte. this visuals play an active role in complimenting this story which takes you through an amazing (and sort of trippy) drive through the human brain.
A typical C-grade amateur production with cheap props and a story told over many times. This is very low budget. Acting, directing and writing is very novice.
