Good things first: actors deliver a good performance, lighting and coloring are good, and they try to maximise the effect of the set and props.
Well, the movie is a bit dull, repeating stereotypical story points like so many generic "science fiction" before. The science part is completely disregarded, nothing has to make any sense and only acts as a story device. And for the sake of the limited budget, evyerthing else is done voiceover. Outside shots on locations are done with heavy filtering und wind machines, so you get some SF-vibes.
This is the complete generic storyline without spoilers: Starting in a dystopian setting in an *enclosed space*, with the urgent need to fix some *technostuff* to save *humanity/mankind/earth*. Protagonist(s) has to leave the *enclosed space*, in order to *get spares/reach broken machine/meet important people*, but then runs into unexpected *person/location/devices* that change *mission/emotions/goal/everything*. Of course new protagonists or villains will show up on this hero journey.
Aire is not horrible bad, I see it as a nice try.
Have no fear to miss it out.

Hitchcock is mentioned only in connection to this dud because of a similar visual style: black and white picture (with way too much black). Indoor scenes leave a lot to imagination thanks to minimal lighting, so that is where the "mystery" comes from. Anyway, the frames look good - 3 out of 10.
If you believe there is some story about quantum mechanics, physics, science fiction or a thriller inside: nope. In fact there are fragments of all these topics, but they are hardly connected. To add insult to boredom, a few minutes from the finish line the voice from off-screen narrates main parts and the end of the story - even the writer and director did not have the nerve to finish the story. Roll credits, please.
If you are into art house style films: it is worth a watch, many great shots, visully appealing. If you are into action, SF, thriller, entertainment and supense - avoid it at all costs.

Well, this one is a surprise and an all time low. The main locations include one static Spitfire replica, a meadow with a shed with two deck chairs and some props, and a moveable cockpit with view to the rear into the pilots face. There are a few different camera setups, such as a generic room and a part of a tower. And there is some footage from a video game, combined with crosshair view into fights within this game. That's all. Seriously, there is nothing more, except some old news reels and a Churchill quote.
Some guys occupy these sets and play scenes you remember from other, better movies. They feel like fragments of a possibility of a war time story, just empty.
It is a brave attempt to release a movie with such few assets and no idea how to tell a story. But this feels like a low budget "Battle of Britain" mockbuster.
