Not gonna bash the film like everyone else so hear me out. Was it the best sci-fi? No. Was it completely original? No.
But I can say that the ending was very good, had an amazing twist and that weird aspect to the very very end of the film before credits.
I love sci-fi and I get tired of the same old plot and plot twists, while this concept was not complexly original (as most films) it did have a lot of concepts I had not seen in modern sci-fi.
The beginning was very dragged out and I felt a lot of it could have been cut on the chopping block honestly. With that said, a lot of it was very crucial for the twist at the end. So I'll give it a bit of grace.
The emotion from the women in this film was riveting and I don't use that word every often lol. It was raw and compelling and I felt for not only the protagonist but also the assistant. She understood how destroying the program was and seeing her show quiet signs of fear and mental struggle was very heart warming and real to me. As someone who cries in private a lot but keeps a brave face on I felt her so much. The protagonist, she is not some bad a super woman, I loved seeing her fail, make mistakes, get her butt beat, lol etc etc. Again realism.
And as stated above I felt the twist at the end was more devistating because it showed that he could have coexisted with Adrian as the girls did. But idk if that would have been cool with Adrian lol.
I really want to go in more depth but I'm trying not to leave spoilers. I'm sorry I'm not the type to EXPECT anything from a film but a good story and some twists and turns. I love sci-fi and short films I prefer over Hollywood and the comments are showing many prefer Hollywood over indie. This film no matter that Bruce Willis was in it felt very indie and I loved that feel. It wasn't riddled with a bunch of bs. Slow start but definitely great middle and bombastic ending.
