some neat stuff in here, but otherwise quite a mess of a movie
-
The interesting premise is not developed to its full potential here. While the production design and effects are overall decent, it's the story that drags on a little bit. What begins looking like Blade Runner soon becomes more of a Neil Blomkamp kinda film, without taking the action or violence very far. The showdown is another example of a good idea not entirely thought or pulled through. Too bad, this could have been cooler.

While the setting and ambiance of this sci-fi thriller are spectacular, the payoffs never add up to the potential of the premise, and it's thematic sloppiness makes it difficult to tell exactly what it's trying to say.
