    Horrible but true

    It is really awful,but now it becomes truth,so sad!

    5 years

    Politically, I would called it "5 years" instead of "10 years", because some parts of it is already a reality in 2020.

    The film itself is original and challenging to watch if you are not familiar with the situation in Hong Kong. Over the last decade, I lost interest in HK cinema, you rarely come across any new subject. However, this film is "a breath of fresh air". It separated into 5 parts, personally I would prefer to give each segment an individual score due to its uneven quality. Extras - 5; Season of the End - 3; Dialect - 7; Self-immolator - 10; Local Egg - 8. Overall, some of it are very well made, clever and classy actors, but it is a pity some parts of it are very long and the acting is somewhere between bad and mediocre.

    Narrative sci-fi that's styled like a documentary

    A futuristic Hong Kong no one wants to fathom! The whole premise of the five clips that make up this film is bold. Having said this, there is a mix of good and bad in this film.

    The first clip starts off too slowly. The dialogue is too full of British influenced Hong Kong slang and at times it is hard to understand, even for Cantonese speakers who do not reside in Hong Kong like myself although those reading English subtitles will have no problem. Too bad because the plot was a good one but it was just not well acted or scripted.

    The second clip is almost unbearable to watch. It was too far into the sci-fi mode that it made the story unbelievable. The acting was wooden, the story line was wandering, the filming looked cheap, and overall it just looked amateur. Fast forward if you wish, nothing missed here.

    The final three clips are why you should watch this film. All are spoken in standard Cantonese, all are well acted, the scripts all make sense, and the viewer ought to leave with a sense of wonder and amazement. I liked the fourth clip the best with superb directing, acting, and filming and this clip alone can carry the whole film.

    Definitely a must watch but skip over the boring parts after the first time.

    A film that accurately predicts Hong Kong's future

    The movie is a godsend. Hong Kong doesn't need to fall in 2025 to see its current development.When I saw this movie, I thought it was realistic, but now it's amazing!

    Prophecy on Hong Kong

    Most of the movie segments progressively become reality. We must stand with Hong Kong and forbid it from losing Iran unique identity.
