    So much potential ruined by one plot twist too many

    This was a rock solid film until the producers ruined it about 3/4 of the way through with a nonsensical ending. Interesting sci fi, believable characters, an awesome plot twist a third of the way through the film, and decent acting. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the film was until it went off the rails.

    However, the ending was incredibly frustrating because of how unbelievably silly it was, totally destroying all the good work built up over the first part of the film. Sad, sad, sad! It could've been an excellent film!

    If you like Black Mirror, look no further.

    Like a chapter of Black Mirror, this is a near-future sci-fi story that has good acting, action, innovative sets, and a great plot. Keeps your brain engaged and entertained. Wish it could have been a mini-series because there are a lot of interesting subplots to explore. If you like this movie and haven't yet seen Black Mirror, please find it and enjoy.

    Gets way too convoluted

    It's got a nice premise even though it is impossible not to see the similarities with the Black Mirror episode "White Christmas". We follow the main character trying to achieve something but she constantly gets sidetracked with other things which makes the story a bit convoluted. It almost felt like they added these extra events to turn this into a feature length film.

    It's about a girl trying to wake her brother up from a coma through a drug that lets you have time-compressed VR experiences.

    A prove that you don't need big budgets to make good sci-fi

    When I first saw an announcement for this movie I thought it would be just another sci-fi movie with a decent, but not that original story and a smaller budget. Nevertheless I decided to watch it and then I realized how much mistaken I was. This movie brings one of the more original stories I've seen in sci-fi the last couple of years. Combined with an excellent cinematography and good acting this movie lifts itself up. I know many people who don't like to watch movies with smaller budgets, mostly foreign movies, not produced in Hollywood, but then again, this movie proves you don't need to have the big budgets to get full potential.

    Decent Aussie sci fi

    Not a bad film. A bit convoluted. Could have been alot better had the script been more focused. Decent performances. Good production. Hard for us sci fi enthusiasts to get a good fix these days.

    • Trivia
      Several overhead shots show characters walking in a building with Penrose (aperiodic) tiling. This means using very few shapes (between two and four), the tile can infinitely produce similar, yet never repeating, patterns. This is probably a reference to the software created by the main character that allows for infinite and realistic experiences.

      at around 23 minutes in when Ren is talking to the other two partners and the clock is counting down in the background and Ren says "I'm close" in reference to completing the program sequence and the first partner says "close, we're going live in 5 days" and the clock is reading 5:00:10:35 and the camera pans back to Ren and then the 2nd partner says "I'll leave you guys to it" and he gets up to leave and the clock is reading 5:00:11:21---somehow the clock has gained about an hour...whoops...
