This movie is not about about technology. It's about love.
As always, Mahershala Ali's performance is stellar. Seriously, this man is one of the very best actors around. In my opinion, acting is what he does, the ability to convey complex emotions with just his body, most notably his face. The opposite of what Joaquin Phoenix did in The Joker (I am a fan of JP's but he was badly overacting in that movie).
The rest of the cast is excellent. All of them.
Many comments point out an excessive slowness. I disagree. The film is telling a journey, grief over oneself parting and stepping aside for the sake of one's family. That's a huge decision. Someone wrote here that Cameron's decision was selfish. Maybe that person was multitasking and missed the point entirely. On the contrary, it's about sacrifice and selflessness.
There's a slight twist in the second half that makes you think the movie would shift to a different genre entirely but steers back on course after a while. That may be the single flaw I found in this movie. Showing a fit of acute anxiety was consistent with the story and the character but the way it was done was a bit dissonant.
The cinematography is absolutely superb. The attention to design flawless. The music fits the story perfectly.
A very good movie.
