The first truly great movie of 2015. This is a complex, thought-provoking sci-fi tale that feels more like a next generation Twilight Zone episode than a mainstream film. And that’s a compliment. Mindless action and noise is replaced by intelligent conversations and periods of silence.
As it weaves its twisty tale (and there are some great twists), we get to see interesting characters interact with each other and the conflict develop like water on a stove until it finally hits an amazing boiling point crescendo in the third act.
The effects here are truly mind-blowing. I’m intentionally not telling much about the plot because it is best to just go in and experience it without prior knowledge. Really enjoyed this and its a film I’m sure I’ll visit again. There’s a lot of depth here and it will be fun to see what I might have missed in subsequent screenings.
