Zenith is not a science fiction movie. It uses an imagined future to highlight contemporary issues. It is related to films like Godard's Alphaville, and has no relation to Star Trek and similar. As the credit reads, this is an experiment. It uses cinematic and literary tropes to invite the audience into a dialog about human psychology and societal convention, power and control. Before the latest corporate takeover of cinema, that wouldn't have been unusual. Nowadays, many or most viewers are conditioned to evaluate movies only in terms of budgets, spectacle, celebrity names, and how well they execute trite formulaic plots. If you don't belong to that group, this film will speak to you.
The Wire is more like a multi-part film than a typical tv series. Realism at its best and rarely seen in American tv. It connects crime and social issues with political dysfunction and corruption in a way we all recognize in real life but rarely see in US films, let alone tv series. It was better than anything else when it came out. Now there is nothing that you can even compare it to. If you haven't watched it, do yourself a favor and see it. It still holds up.
