The ratings on here are a bit harsh in my opinion. Sure it's not a movie that will be remembered in the future but for a rather low budget science fiction from South-Africa it was certainly not that bad. Sure some film locations looked a bit low budget and that could have been easily fixed but besides that the acting was not bad at all and the story was interesting to follow. Grace Van Dien plays the main character and she did well. Maybe with more special effects and a bit more action scenes would have benefited the quality of the movie but overall The Fix is worth a watch if you're not too picky.
In the near future, toxin in the air is killing the world. People need to wear respirator masks to survive. Big pharma Aethera has created AIRemedy which is the only known antidote against the toxin, but there may be a limited supply which must be taken constantly. Ella McPhee is the face of AIRemedy advertising. She is depressed over her mother and the world in general despite having a secure supply of the drug. At a party, she takes an overdose of a new drug without knowing the consequences.
This is a South African sci-fi. It is obviously referencing the recent pandemic. Some movies hit that note too hard making it fall flat. This is one of those and it's weird that the toxin has no name. The story is a bit messy. At one point, the movie turns into The Fly including the ear, but then it turns into something else. It wants to be bigger, but it doesn't get there.

In a dystopian future where air is toxic, a troubled young model takes an illicit new drug at a party and suffers a shocking transformation. She undertakes to reverse the effects of the drug, only to discover that her mutations may be the key to saving the human race.
Okay let's do the positives first... Right so now let's do the negatives: Poor acting, poor direction, poor editing, appalling dialogue, everyone angry and raving even when it's not warranted, choppy, messy and chaotic scene changing. Is that enough for you or shall I go on? I think th film tried to be clever beyond the abilities of everyone involved in it.

South Africa's "The Fix" is one of those movies that, had it a better cast, director and script, it might've been interesting at least. But as it is, I was confused throughout, and I don't know if it was caused by my boredom or if my boredom caused the confusion. In any case, I really didn't get it.
Had the actors been better-let's say Cate Blanchett in the lead instead of Grace Van Dien-the charisma and ability to comprehend emotions and bring a competent script to life would have done wonders. And how about deCaprio as the scheming scientist? Let's add a director like, say, Christopher Nolan to make exciting scenes exciting and dramatic scenes dramatic. And the script...egads, let Christopher pick. I trust him. Because honestly, I think this film had promise as a big budget whatever genre this was. But as a lower budget effort with only one seasoned actor (Clancy Brown in a small role), it just couldn't pull off what it was trying to accomplish.
I give it 4 stars for effort, but gosh it was a jumbled mess that I had no desire to rewatch in order to attempt to understand it.

Weird. This movie started off pretty strong just to go down the cheap route. It felt like a whole different movie the second half. The music was also strange. It didn't set the mood and the loud/strange music didn't match the scenes. Honestly, it's so strange how the feel of the movie shifted. Also they dressed the lead very poorly. The clothes hung off her like rags. Her white shorts for the party looked like oversized bloomers. I really had expectations for this movie. It seemed unique and a fun watch outside of my normal genre. The budget was a lot more than I was expecting though you can see certain scene they cut back on (glitching while cutting the fence).
