Once again I got tricked into watching a movie by reading positive reviews. I should have known better but you never know, sometimes there are really good low-budget indie movies. Unfortunately this is not one of them. Even though the actors are unknown to me it wasn't their fault because their acting was actually not bad. It's just the story and the lack of explanation that makes this movie just mediocre. Slow paste with almost no action, no sci-fi scenes at all probably due to the low budget. Instead you get a couple guys with old computers, the kind of computers you would not even find on the thrash pile anymore. It doesn't make any sense since we're in a far future. Like the whole movie that doesn't make any sense. Waste of time for me.

A lot of ideas here and they are crushed into a single film.

The cyberpunk elements and dystopian vibe is way better than Hollywood has ever been able to capture in their big budget flicks.

Some John Carpenter pulse synth, a kind of 80's feel and some weird salvage tech that feels somehow familiar.

Most people wouldn't have enough cultural context to get a lot of this movie. It's too dense for most viewers nowadays.

I found it engaging and the visuals were convincing. The effects for the EMP burst and the exposition were really well done.

The acting was not cringe at all. Great characterization.

I am a big fan of 70's science fiction and this reminded me of the very best films from that era.

You can't trust the trailer on this movie; its not a fast paced thriller. Its moody exploration of freedom and conformity done on a minimal budget. It excels in the characters and acting, especially the two lead roles, along with the music and the camera work. The final scene was killer.

I gave this a 10/10. For me this movie had small slices of nostalgia from my childhood, mixed with my adult interests in cyberpunk and tech.

There was so many amazing qualities about this movie that hit you somewhere deep in your brain and really pull you into the atmosphere of the film. If you are at all into the cyberpunk genre, please watch this film because they got it right. This movie is one that I'm going to be watching over and over again. I love coming on IMDb and seeing that only a handful of people have reviewed a movie and I was one of them. But I really like to see more people get stoked off this film. Big thanks to everyone who helped make it, you've all inspired me.

Watched the screening last in Texas Theater with Writers and Director. Carleton Ranney is very talented and has lot of potential. The movie has a very thrilling premise and at points it shows directional excellence. Music score is pretty kick ass, very engaging and goes completely in sync with situation. After the movie Carleton Ranney and Destin Douglas answered the questions and described the writing and direction process. This type of talent should be supported and encouraged. The movie has a very edgy feelings. It is lot better than other indie thrillers. It has repeat value as you will discover something new during next watch. Overall a very entertaining and engaging film. Would specially appeal to young moviegoers. Strong acting specially by Ian Christopher Noel .
