So there are some reviews that give this movie a low rating because there are not enough dumb explosions and one dimensional characterisation. After sitting through so many sci fi movies with huge plot holes and mind bending science errors it's nice to see a film that is at least attempting to do something with more soul. There are complaints that it is slow but this is just because we have been brainwashed into accepting flash bang fluff made for the minuscule attention span of the average American. For me it never felt slow but considered. The acting is great, the story nothing new but well delivered and the dystopian world entirely convincing. Compared to Jordan Peele's sci fi misfire 'Nope', it's masterpiece.

Strangely mesmerising
Good sci-fi
I don't want to spoil anything so I will not even mention anything negative.
I thought it was very good, visually, storytelling and sci-fi wise. The lead young actress did a fantastic job, as did the more supporting roles. I also got a very positive feeling of synergy from the movie Brazil. Not the story or plot but more the design of things.
Some reviews mentioned they wanted more of the world- or back-story. I thought it was about perfectly delivered. Sketched in enough that you can imagine and wonder about it but not heavy-handed.
Other mentioned it is slow and I could see ppl. Thinking that in some cases. However I did not think any of it was filler or just padding out for any reason. Every slow and artsy sort of shot tells you something about the story world. And was very pretty or at least carefully presented in disgusting detail.
Perfect? Nah - but yea it's well worth a watch, IMO.
fine sci-fi
In the future, the Earth's natural ecology has collapsed. Genetic engineering has become a runaway problem. Human civilization has retreated to various city states known as Citadels. The rest are trying to survive in the dangerous wilderness. Vesper (Raffiella Chapman) is a teen girl alone caring for her sick father. She finds Citadel resident Camellia (Rosy McEwen) who survived a crash landing. Local leader Jonas (Eddie Marsan) rules over his family and his neighbors.
I like the designs and the world. The premise is fine sci-fi. There is potential for a good solid sci-fi small indie. Eddie Marsan delivers the powerful punch. His end is disappointing. The last act has some good and some bad. I can't help but feel that something more could be done. I would be happier if the final confrontation happens with Marsan. There is almost no need to get the Citadels involved. All in all, this is fine, but it is a bit slow.
Black panther wakanda forever please freeman
Earth is destroyed. Mostly died. Girl survives. Super hacker that invaded all automatic systems. So everyone wants her to work for them. Everyone kills everyone, girl survives and gets enough power to keep others fighting for her. End.
After ecosystem colapse of whole planet, you really need a kid hacker to survive ... no thanks

A surprisingly good low budget Sci Fi flick! :) Thanks Freeman!
10/10 i see this on a steaming service somewhere and i thought it was a really nice movie. The effects was great though its clearly a movie with a lower budget than others then they made it work. The actors, sound and location and scenery was great as well.
worst movie ever, please do not watch it, it's disgusting, I am gonna vomit after watching it.
If your thing is super hero movies with mind-numbing, non stop violence, plus bo-bs, so you can rub one out, this will bore you. But if you like well acted, well directed, sci fi movies with an intelligent script, you may enjoy this. I watched it 2X I liked it so much. 9/10
pretty heavy on plot holes, but it's worth the watch just for the beautifully grotesque world they built
Outstanding fresh scifi!
had a few cool ideas but got bored and turned it off, bit of a sci fi chick flick
One of the best sci-fi of the year. Impossible to believe that it's a low-budget festival film as it looks better than many Hollywood blockbusters.
b movie, not funny, boring
you fuking ape ....it contains virus fu fu fu
Why is Thor Ragnarok and Love and Thunder not here!!!
time wasting move I have ever watched

JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 PLEASE FREEMAN THANK YOU????
hard pass... kids movie.
thank you i love this movie
Can we just insult the movie and not each other?
Pretty good movie. I like that the world wasn't explained much, it made it even more alien. And it's not at all "woke" like some morons have commented.
this movie is not for people with weak stomachs
@greatplake - It is time the whole world wakes up. What are they so afraid of? Inclusion? Fear of losing supremacy? Kindness and compassion to all? What?!!
Another stupid film that fancies itself a hidden gem
yts censors any reviews that point out the fact this movie trends to lean towards the awake
