Residents of Arcadia sustains itself with the idea of willingness. It's a sci-fi that doesn't want to focus on the science fiction, but rather on the human condition behind technological improvements. It's a story of effort, of failure, a contrast of hardship and desire of greatness and self fulfillment. Themes are far more serious and subtle than many sci-fis as the movie doesn't try to answer existensial questions in the dichotomy machine-organic matter, rather why we rely on machines and technology to create the happiness we crave for. Overall a solid movie that gives the viewer more than one interprations after the view.
