I would give extra points for the original story and concept. However the screenplay was bad. There were so many things the story couldn't justify. Also I think it would have been better if it revolved more on 'Art' because he was the coolest character in this one.

Nonetheless I didn't get bored and could watch the film completely so it's a 7 from me.

This film is not for people who prefer generic characters, straightforward plot lines and tidy conclusions. However, there's an intelligent concept at the root of it all and skilled execution for those who like to be kept on their toes with lot's of twists, and creative camera angles and scene transitions. Like some of the characters, the viewer is deliberately kept off balance at the beginning but for good narrative reason. Mixed but mostly excellent performances from the cast. Let's be honest, this film has been made on a low budget: some scenes could have done with another take, the "futuristic" devices are decidedly unfuturistic, and the pacing in the middle gets a little frustrating with too many revelatory scenes all at once towards the end etc. But the ending satisfies and leaves room for the viewer to ponder long after the final credits have run.

This film can be slow for some. The storyline is decent enough, and so is the acting. It did kept me glued and wondering and waiting for the truth to revealed. A relatively enjoyable film to watch on a slow or quiet afternoon or night.

This is not a very good movie, it's flawed and sometimes the pacing makes you bored, especially in the middle.

However, these moments don't last long. Overall, it is a good sci fi movie, which does something rare: It doesn't leave questions unanswered. It's a solid movie with a strong script, not ambiguous like most of the movies nowadays. There is cohesion here, a beginning and an end.

Movie mysteries hold your interest and, most importantly, are being explained. Characters are likeable and you feel their agony.

Of course there are limitations due to low budget.

A good movie which most of sci fi fans will enjoy. 6.6/10.

It's one of those films that hold your attention, expecting something great to ultimately happen, only to be let down with a cluttered, convoluted, incoherent and incohesive story. There was just no reward, and it looked like a bunch of screenplays were thrown in the shredder then randomly taped together. It tried too hard to be smart, and lost focus on any character development to align with the story. Then add the terrible pacing to the convoluted plot's 103 min runtime, and you'll be begging for something thrilling to happen quick so the film can end. Why would the producers hire an amature writer in his first screenplay, and not at least have a seasoned writer look it over? Schroeder's directing was adequate, but what stood out was the cinematography and score. The only convincing performances were Kartheiser, Lopez and Qualley. Everyone else, especially Wool, were stale and seemed amateurish. Maybe part blame goes to Schroeder's failure to direct his cast properly. It's too bad, this film had tons of potential. It's a 6/10 from me.
