Yes the acting is not extraordinary, yes the filming quality is not that good, the storyline is OK.
Watched it and did not regret "wasting" my time, would I recommended because it was that good, probably not. But if you like movies that have bit of science or tech in it, it's probably worth to watch.
This is a very watchable movie from down under. Full of science lingo and tech jargon that's sure to please anyone interested in that sort of stuff, which I am. There was enough solid sounding math, science, and technology terminology to keep the film grounded in this universe though. The acting and overall production was quite pleasing given the low budget type film, which by the way was way better than most other low budget films I've seen. The overall premise of the film was solid and had good mystery and fulfilling drama with characters trying to solve impossible problem, working out the details to get problem solved, animosity and confrontation between characters, family drama, character flaws, compromise, global impact, etc, etc....The script was also brilliantly written given all the math and science lingo that went into this film, plus it moved at a good pace so you didn't get bogged down to much in any one of the plot points. Although a little bit of the acting was cheesy, most of it was very good and I never felt like fast forwarding or turning it off. Plus none of the characters committed the ultimate sin of 'people doing totally unrealistic and stupid things that nobody in any frame of mind would ever do'. I hate that type of drama, which is rampant, and I start yelling at the TV. Those writers need to scratch their heads a bit more and make it more believable. There was none of that in this film. The production was also very high given the budget and the props and technology displayed were spot on and led to the credibility of the film. This is a film you should see if science and technology are your thing. Way to go.
Might not be what hoped for but trust me, made my night.... I luv this..... It's inspiring, I mean, I had to recommend it..i got what I wanted from it.... ➕ I Luv d tune
But the budget was so low they basically couldn't do anything but talk. For a science fiction movie this makes for an unsatisfying result.
Also, the young "genius" assistant was played by an actor who seems as smart as a chair---not convincing. The older scientist was nicely portrayed.
Shot really well. Good Australian film, deserves a wider release. Well written, interesting story and shot well, what more do you want?
The sci-fi story itself is compelling and refreshingly original. The writing is tight, natural, and engaging, drawing you in from the very beginning. Characters feel authentic and layered, and the pacing keeps the narrative moving without ever feeling rushed.
It's the kind of film that lingers with you-thought-provoking yet accessible, entertaining yet meaningful. Honestly, it deserves a much wider release and audience. With a strong script, striking visuals, and a clear creative vision, what more could you ask for in a film?
