Featured reviews
Some of the actors do good work, some are 'phoning it in,.'
Technical side, camera, sound, lighting, editing, are all carried off competently, making the production look better then the plot has any right to.
It's basically an Asylum type film with better production values and some well known B-listers getting their scene on in main roles instead of being sidekicks.
Put it on to fall asleep to, the dreams that follow will have better plots.
Having said that, the movie has an interesting premise. But one we can't be entirely sure about. What would you do, how would you feel, if you knew you had the possibility to live forever? Of course since you would not be the only one, but it would also include your friends, that would make it easier. At least in theory that is.
But there are other hidden agendas and things contained in this. And while the main idea is more than intriguing, a lot of cliches and predictable plot points creep in. This dares to be different, but does not fully succeed. Still decent effort in my book - especially if you like Science Fiction in general.
Very bad editing and with some scenes you can see parts of the filming equipment. That scene on the balcony while she is walking and on the phone, when the camera angle changes you can clearly see the camera in front of her as she walks towards it, how HOW was this missed in editing or even during their proof screening.
Other reviews that are insulting people for not liking this movie must have been written by someone related to the film crew.
Its low budget, and if its not then its giving the impression it is.
CGI is ok.
The "pilot" looked strangely pregnant! (the pilot is a man) The story line is dull and parts of it done make sense at all.
Avoid!
I should acknowledge that I only watched about 32 minutes of this movie. But when the good-guy rebels started explaining how everything went wrong because an atheist took control and mind-wiped a Christian, I couldn't take it anymore.
The film equates immortality to never having truly lived and confuses even that pithy little gem by conflating immortality with mind control. Yes, the dialog is pathetic, the acting mediocre, the production values low, but it's the wild illogic and rabid proselytizing that are truly unbearable.

- TriviaThe name of the city, Alisandre comes from Alexander, which was derived from the Greek name, which means defender of men.
- GoofsArmaros' behavior towards The Pilot is odd. Armaros shouts at him, accuses him of inability to see or understand the gravity of the situation, sort of questions his competence and intentions. That is not the a way an employee can behave to a boss, let alone such a super boss.
- Quotes
Logos: [Opening lines, voiceover] Once upon a time, the world was a mess. There was a pandemic, and then another and then another. Life, as the human race knew it, was a disaster in every sense of the word. Then, one day, a scientist came along with a genetic discovery that changed everything. He shared his vision with the world. It was a solution so incredible and epic in scope that life on Earth would not only resume but it would be like living in a fairytale. A chance to live in a perfect world. An eternal dream. The problem was no-one really thought through the consequences. Soon my life changes forever. I'll be given the gift of being frozen in time, the gift of never dying. A gift that everyone on this train and in this city either has or will receive. The problem is I'm not so sure I see it as a gift.
