6/10
Just another blomkamp movie.

There is literal zero original ideas in this. And you could put those scenes in any blomkamp movie and most people wouldn't even notice. Also, what is with him and the metaphorical messages crammed in those as subtly as driving a tank through your living room? I mean, those are so on the nose I felt mine's gonna start to bleed. Same was with Elysium (powerful vs. Underdog) , District 9 (apartheid, racism), and so on. Here it's so obvious, it feels like an edu-film made for schools. Why people keep swallowing those movies if they are nearly identical? Also, the scene writing is usually at a teen-nerd level, I am not even exaggerating here. I gave it six out of ten, because the production value and the actors/acting were good, but overall if you saw any Blomkamp movie before, don't waste your time.
