2067

What could have been brilliant was spoiled by a huge inexplicable plot fail. Poor acting generally and I'll conceived casting. Except for Ryan who added some well needed substance. Good plot except for the massive hole in it. Hard to believe someone would sign off on this prior to release, or at some point say... hey... hang on a minute, this doesn't actually add up!

Good Concept; Earth devastated by climate change and an nuclear war. The O2 level on earth is running out because of these events. One City has been able to hold out thanks to synthetic oxygen but the oxygen also causes The Sickness.

Below Average Plot; Boring slow middle part Bad Acting; Main are OK Bad Dialogue; Below Average Fun;

Good Decor/aesthetics; Futuristic Neon City, Cyberpunky apartments with visible decay, The opening scene with Bladerunner/Cyberpunky city streets & the transparant television screens is great. There is a great shot in the office of Regina the acting and dialogue in this scene is average at best but the decor is really good imo. There are a few cool shots like of the city skyline around 23min or the shot at 1:02 with the decayed/overgrown city looks like Kingdom of the planet of the Apes.

I rate this film a 5/10. I like the aesthetics but its barely an Average Film.

For those complaining about all the "emotions"... I'm quite positive that faced with the prospect of being catapulted some 400 years into an uncertain future world, via a big sizzling Dyson vacuum cleaner controlled by a super computer that still uses a blinking cursor and a keyboard, leaving behind your dying significant other, with no return ticket and the fate of all humanity resting on your very narrow shoulders... one would shed significantly more bodily fluids than a few blubbering tears. I mean honestly people... 2067 is currently rated somewhere between Super Mario Brothers and Tank Girl... Obviously "fair" is not a grown-up word.

So here is an honest review... I watched this movie with very low expectations having seen its score and read a few reviews. I was pleasantly surprised that it held my attention to the very end. I was impressed with the visuals and special effects. The "science" and storyline do require a modicum of suspension of disbelief, but remember why most of us watch movies... To escape from our miserable realities for a couple hours... So we can forgive ourselves for putting our Underoos on and just enjoying a movie every once-in-a-while without screaming for a full refund on the last 2 hours of our banal lives. As relatively unknowns, I feel the cast earned their paychecks, as I'm certain none of them raked it in, and I found myself actually caring about these characters whom I'd only met mere minutes earlier. Lastly I was happy I was eventually able to wrap my head around the plot without suffering an Inception-like brain freeze.

Have faith peeps, you can make it through this movie... And if you're not too careful... You just might enjoy it.

I found this a very interesting concept and story, ruined by some terrible acting (apart from Ryan Kwanten) and the lead character spending most of the movie blubbering and crying (even more than Burnham on ST: Discovery!!!). Also, the music score is absolutely woeful. So many bad choices for the scenes they were meant to enhance. Bigger budget and a better cast may have helped.

There was so much potential that was lost in ridiculous science and poor directing of actors.
