    Well done, creative, sometimes surprising

    I enjoyed this movie! The premise is intriguing, the acting is good (the main actress does a great job), and the production is perfectly adequate.

    There is some light comedy, but also some interesting questions. Recommended for people who enjoy speculative fiction.

    I'm actually surprised that more movies have not addressed the questions raised here: what is it all about? Does anything make sense?

    I am also intrigued by the hints about the responsibility to simulated life forms, what to do with them, and so on. This movie is punching well above its weight in terms of philosophical questions.

    These ratings make me think I'm in a simulation

    It's a decent idea, but this movie is extremely slow and not thought provoking at all. It had a lot of potential. The acting and music selection was not great, cinematography is fine, but in terms of storyline? Abysmal. Throughout the entire movie, I felt as if I was watching a movie produced by a highschool movie production team as an assignment. The realism felt completely off and is not at all how you would expect humans would respond, in fact I think the majority would chose to stay. Each to their own, I appreciate everyone has their own opinion, but it takes a lot for me to skip through a movie. I wanted it to get better, but 3/10 I stand by what I said, the movie is less thought provoking than these reviews.

    Gentle wandering maze of a story

    Think wandering into a 1950s beatnik coffee shop and watching a poet stand up and scream for. 5 minutes while the beats just sip their coffee.

    This movie is not that extreme, but it is well-off-the-beat-path, if you catch my drift.

    It is gentle; it is fun; and I love it. I've watched it twice and will likely watch it more times.

    For me, it's a wonderful break from the zombie, vampire, drama films I watch.....a palette cleanser if you will.

    You will remember it.

    Strange, contemplative movie.

    First things first, this is not a comedy. This is a movie that shines a light on the fact that the world as we know it, and it's societal and cultural norms and expectations aren't built for everyone. This is a character study of one young woman who learns more about what it means to be alive when faced with the end of days.

    It is on the slower side and it's far from perfect, but it asks interesting questions. We're supposed to be social animals right? So why do so many of us thrive in solitude? Why do widely accepted societal norms cause anxiety and depress certain people, when these norms exist to give structure to what it means to be part of a society in the first place? Watch it with an open mind.

    The human condition

    This is a really great little movie. The lead actress is excellent - especially in the first act - and the supporting cast do a fine job, too.

    There a lots of little touches in this movie that make it so good. Like in the first act where she is depressed and watching a documentary about The Pyramids being built by aliens, and when she tosses and turns so violently when she tries to sleep.

    The second act, after the great reveal, is a little weaker and almost undoes the great opening act, but it is in the final act that the sense of self really shines.

    The movie is very philosophical but in a very modern sense. It looks at what we are and what it means to be 'alive'. For me, it gave a sense of how we all share this consciousness and I was deeply moved by the ending.

      At 21:50, the host says, "the simulation will be discontinued in one week.", but after a minute he says that there is an option to live in the abandoned simulation. If only the humans who chose option B are removed, that would not reduce the resources used in running the simulation. So practically, the simulation was not discontinued.
