Definitely worth a watch

For a small budget film, this is a great achievement. For the viewer at home, it's a well acted, interestingly told story that was good enough to keep me from reaching for my phone and "half watching" like many of us do when the film isn't very good but we still want to see what happens at the end.

Ironically, the ending would be one of the weaker points here, and I think the explains some of the scathing reviews as the first two acts of he film are quite predictable but it wound up ending in a way that takes you off guard.

None the less, it wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination and is a very worthy lockdown watch.

Quality performances but a weak third act

The film feels fleshed out as it steadily plods along.

The actors are convincing in their various roles and the dialogue and direction is decisive and uncliched. However, the "twist" is broadcast a little too clearly and a little too early to really be surprising. Furthermore, after the big reveal at the end of act two, the film loses most of its momentum and descends into mere exposition.

Some visceral reaction to the revelations of the final act would have provided much needed energy. Instead the film limps unsatisfyingly into the closing credits.

Average film, even if a little predictable.

Watchable once. Do not think to re-watch it someday. On a similar topic, Moon (2009) was way better.

Goof : One of the character is learning French. At 37', we see him reading an article about the French Revolution on the computer. The article is plagued with grammar mistakes.

Far better than I thought it would be

Ok, firstly it is not brilliant nor awful. It is however well acted by the main cast and when you look at their subsequent previous credits you'll understand why. The genre yes has been used before, but this is well directed, the score is fitting (very much like an old John Carpenter score in places) and you actually like the characters portrayed. If you're a seasond sci-fi fan then yes you'll guess the ending but it doesn't matter, the time has gone by nicely thanks to a very well cast movie.

We gave it a shot!

Slow burn suspense with a good twist at the end. Didn't love it, but wasn't terrible. The acting wasn't terrible.

Quotes
Boston: I have a proposal for the Domain.
Orlando: Oh here it comes, the bullshit Domain.
Boston: Since day one, Orlando's been nothing but a thorn in our sides and now he's confessing to brutally murdering innocent people.
Orlando: No no no, they weren't *all* innocent.
Boston: We don't have to listen to it anymore. We just ban him and shut off his feed for good.
Orlando: Ah!
[claps]
Orlando: I love it! You can't ban me.
Denver: I can.
Houston: For real? You can just shut us off at anytime?
Denver: It's not that simple, okay? It's a hack I came across after studying the code for years. But that doesn't mean I agree with Boston. Banning someone is permanent, we can't come back from it so we have to make sure that this is something we all wanna do.
