Not bad not great
swaroberts1 May 2019
It's impressive what they have done with such a small budget and you can see that the people that made this show a lot of promise but the film really needs to be about 50 minutes long rather than almost two hours.

I think a whole lot of scenes from the flashbacks and about 75% of the gun-fight sequence could have been cut and it would have made the film a lot more watchable. As it stands it feels very over-long and is too dialogue-heavy in parts but then conversely too action-heavy towards the end of the film. Whoever made this should ask Charlie Brooker for a job, I'm sure with the guidance of professional editors the authors of this could be making amazing stuff in a few years.

A friend who knows I watch a lot of films recommended this one to me.

I'll sleep to anything, but when someone with whom I've discussed films with so often suggests I watch one I give it an even greater chance. It's a low budget sci fi film, I don't hold that against it.

Was I still on board when the singing started? I was already in persevere mode. Did some of the special effects & costuming hold up better than others, sure. Was the plot interesting or presented in an interesting manor, no it wasn't. Was the acting good for a boring low budget film, it was passable, some it was just the boring script working against them. Was I emotionally involved with the film at any point, no absolutely not. Do I want to discourage any one that took part in making this movie? No. But it's 2019 now, and there are better high school plays on YouTube at this point.

Would I recommend this movie to a friend? No.

Fantastic indie sci fi

Seeing this film on the big screen was a wonderful experience. The scale of the project is as enormous and expansive as you could wish sci fi to be. The film has been realised to a degree that belies its low budget - particular achievements are the glossy cinematography and expert sound design.

Well worth a watch if you like ambitious independent sci fi.

Very surprised, Very well done!

This movie took me quite by surprise. Great acting, Great effects, Great directing, Great cinematography, what more can i say. Some Story elements used before in other movies but executed very well in this Indie budgeted Film. For me it was a more realistic and well rounded. Just enough peeks into the past to pull reality and techno illusion together with realism. If you like Science Fiction you will like this movie.

Surpassed exapectations

The film surpassed my expectations, knowing it was a low-budget film. From the opening scene, I was blown away by the Vfx of space-aged transporters filling the skies. I was impressed that the director & author Luke Tedder, was able to bring together a variety of acting talents from professional colleagues, including Adam J.Bernard (already the recipient of an Olivier Award) to amateur friends and relations. These included, 3 generations of one family acting in the film. The storyline is a thought-provoking exploration into our near future. It was most engaging from beginning to end & I'd recommend it to all.

Great story, great cast, great action...
andrewhughes-1347227 June 2018
I honestly can't see any flaws in this film. Despite being a small budget indie film, it certainly doesn't feel like it. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys shows like Black Mirror, or hard sci-fi in general. I would happily watch it again.

Can't wait to see more from this director, the passion put into this is quite simply outstanding.

Really enjoyable watch
mikerogem17 April 2018
I was lucky enough to see this at one of the first showing & it really was a delightful experience.

First off, compared to other films with a similar budget, this is hands down a very incredible achievement. The visual effects are phenomly good, akin to a million dollar blockbuster.

The story feels a lot like a black mirror episode, which if you enjoy black mirror like me, you'd really enjoy.

I'm really excited for what comes next from the people involved in making this film, you can really tell from their work that they're passionate about their work.
