2050

The film takes an interesting premise and plays it inoffensively as possible, and drags the thin plot over far too long of a run time. If this was a short youtube scifi short it might have been bearable, but at full length its just wasted potential.

It's not a new premise by any measure, but the narrative and dialogue has enough originality to hold some interest. There are moments of brilliance in the cinematography, like islands in a sea of low budget mediocrity. "Futurising" the present by dropping in the odd cheesy special effect really doesn't work; either go all the way, or be way more subtle. This is just disjointed world-building that drops the viewer out of the story.

The acting and dialogue is like the cinematography. Inconsistent. Moments of beauty and powerful nuance, drowning in acres of awkward and stilted.

I'm glad Dean can still get work. I've always had a soft spot for him. He's not a great actor, and his 50+ years sans A-grade Hollywood cosmetic surgery/stylist/nutritionist/trainer budget are showing, but he seems like such a nice guy. He deserves a shot, and this film shows not all hope is lost.

The story is ambitious. Much like "A.I" and 'Humans', "2050" explores the relationship between man and technology. The personal acceptance, social implications and potential conflict. In this film the exploration is between human relationships and advanced artificial intelligence integrated sex bots. And yes there is a slight flippant approach with "battle of the sexes" humor.

I am not sure if "2050" ever lives up to the expectations of the film's creators. The concept, on the surface is a curious topic, one with a valid point. Unfortunately, I felt a definite judgemental vibe from the story's perspective choices. Several of the characters felt shakey, didn't really fit Into the situations offered. Some of the writing seemed to need a bit more development.

Special effects are pretty minimal. The environments seem more now than future. Aside from some ancillary CGI elements peppered in there is no real leap to a sci-fi aspect. I didn't get enough A.I conveyance from the android characters to believe them. All that said, the film is shot nicely. Some of the situational material between the human characters were nice. "2050" has a few cool elements but not enough to make sci-fi futurist fans happy.

With the exception of Dean Cain, the acting was not very good, the soundtrack was silly and the actor playing the brother was awful and seemed gay. (Not there there is anything wrong with that!) The concept for the film is a good one but the dialogue seemed unnatural, the music was distracting and overall this movie was a waste of time! The only difference in the future in New York City seems to be drones.... Lots of drones!!!

I think this could have been a much better movie in spite of being low budget... maybe the writer and director learn from this movie and do better next time... just like Ed Wood said! 😁🎥🎬

It is an entertaining film, although it doesn't explore the topic in depth - the subject of the film is "people spending more time with robots than with humans", but the implications of that are never really explored, at least no more than it would be if we were talking about people dating other people because they are more excited about the perspective of dating somewhere more attractive than their current partners. Acting is okay, but it can be rough at some points, making it feel like a low-budget production.
