LX 2048

I wasn't expecting much with a 4.8/10 rating on IMDb but this movie is excellent in every way. Very nicely written and scripted, nicely filmed for a low-budget movie (quality of the production looks much higher), good acting, good soundtrack and good incidental music that actually blends with the dialog so much you don't even notice it. This is a great futuristic sci-fi movie that makes you think. It's along the same lines as the Bruce Willis sci-fi film Surrogates. Too bad it hasn't been seen much (currently only 149 ratings as compared to popular movies with ratings in the multi-thousands.) I give this a 9/10 and that rating might be a bit conservative.

Great idea for a movie but one hour plus of listening to a self pitying manic depressive is very hard to stick to. Very slow at times and hard to stick with it without losing interest, or without getting fed up with the constant whining and misery.

Dystopian yawn fest. No new ideas. Predictable story. James D'Arcy, to be fair to him, is pretty good in it. Some will say that the lack of real life contact that the characters have, causes the unbelievable and unconvincing interactions between the characters, within this storyline, but in all honesty, was just a poor script with poor actors. I probably thought more times about switching it off, before the end, than I have done for a film for a while, but I kept at it because I considered there might be a good twist or something, but no.

...the constant typical divorce arguments on every scene turned me off.

It does seem like the futuristic topic, though, is here. No touch with reality. The decrease of human connection and the overheating of our planet, seems legit.

The film is pretty to look at, but the pace is slow. The build up is far too long, and by the time something happens it is already too late to recapture the viewers' interest.
