I came into this completely blind, not knowing what to expect and knowing very little about the film. It takes a little while to get going, but once it does you're hooked. Efron is fantastic in his almost claustrophobic portrayal of his situation. The later twists and turns just add to the the panic felt. The supporting cast, small and brief as it may be, does a decent job too. Set in the not-too-distant future, though one does wonder how an Irish character made to Australia (location) or America (principle cast) in this almost post-apocalyptic setting? I know the film is trying to make a deeper point around humanity and greed, but it certainly can be enjoyed just for exactly what it is.
This is a poor man's 'Matrix meets Inception', and is not even as well thought out.
I knew it was in trouble when it was still setting up the premise of what was going on one hour into the film.
It certainly didn't deserve all the Oscars it got, and I can't understand why it has been so hyped.
Some of the visual effects are decent, but the film itself could be a low-budget B-movie.
Towards the mid-point, I didn't even care what was going on in the storyline. Nearer the end I was just waiting for the credits to roll.
I'm just glad I streamed it, instead of paying to see it in the cinema.
Very disappointing and nothing special.
