This movie has a lot of problems. Starting with that it tries too much and what I mean by that is that there is no flow or common tread. This spins on its axel, sometimes shaky cam, some times fixed, and we even see it as first-player-shooter camera at times. Sometimes futuristic music, sometimes nonsense, sometimes the movie tries to sell a future with robots etc and sometimes the feeling is that this is made in the 1980s. And people smoke! Like a lot. When did smoking become a thing in the future? The movie is sold as social criticism one second, and a futuristic existential drama the next. This is family, God, and relationship one second and end of the world the next. This is drugs and rape one second, and slow moving dialogue in Space the next.
This mixture and lack of directing is one key factor why this does not work. You can see the threads, and the scenes, but they are not together, this is not made good enough for us to really tell what is going on. They also mention Covid as a third outbreak with a lot of nonsense attached to it and this virus news is told by a voice sounding like a bored sex worker. So, so bad...
The second big problem with this movie is the low production value. Set pieces, clothes, light, and almost everything about this is smells and look cheap.
The two only positives are the acting which is solid by the entire cast, and the music which overall is excellent.
The movie is unfortunately a complete failure in execution. The script, directing, and storytelling is all horrible.
I can however see potential. Tripple the budget, make the movie 20min longer so we can tie everything together properly and polish up on everything I mention above and this could actually be something. I have the feeling that the idea is good, but nothing else besides acting is so it all becomes incompetent nonsense.
This movie desperately tries to be a futuristic more modern SJW version of Requiem for a Dream dosed with some end of the world porn. And it fails so badly it is not even funny.
I give this a 2/10. This is not the worst I have seen this year, but this is not something anyone should watch. Stay away.
