I’m not going to spoil this.

Atmospheric and paced, relying on world building and visuals. This is a different sort of bubblegum movie.

The world is “running out of energy” somehow, and a space station is meant to create free energy somehow, but it ends up being more complicated than they realize.

A high-tech future takes away and then offers a victim a second chance at a normal life, except without his wife.

Great consistent tone, action, and a clear direction. Riveting all the way through; this is what a good movie is.

In a future where limiting words somehow makes people happy, some are still enthralled by contraband media.

Corporations explore mars and the human heart, link an A.I. with planet-killing weapons, and expect everything to be okay somehow.

It’s confusing and awkward.
