Not a bad flick, but not noteworthy either. The effects were decent and gave it a proper sci-fi setting. The Dialogue was wanting, and to be honest, too much crying going on, far too much! It is one of those sci-fis were you have to ignore the science, just accept the plot holes the inaccuracies make. The acting was pretty stiff. It tried hard and probably the effects were the best feature of the film - which is a bit worrying. All in all though, still gets a 5 for a Sunday afternoon which is a pass and not a complete fail
Good Concept; Earth devastated by climate change and an nuclear war. The O2 level on earth is running out because of these events. One City has been able to hold out thanks to synthetic oxygen but the oxygen also causes The Sickness.
Below Average Plot; Boring slow middle part Bad Acting; Main are OK Bad Dialogue; Below Average Fun;
Good Decor/aesthetics; Futuristic Neon City, Cyberpunky apartments with visible decay, The opening scene with Bladerunner/Cyberpunky city streets & the transparant television screens is great. There is a great shot in the office of Regina the acting and dialogue in this scene is average at best but the decor is really good imo. There are a few cool shots like of the city skyline around 23min or the shot at 1:02 with the decayed/overgrown city looks like Kingdom of the planet of the Apes.
I rate this film a 5/10. I like the aesthetics but its barely an Average Film.

I see that movie as a failed chance. The basic story is solid good from the beginning on, the acting is not bad. I like the effects and the ending, but in-between it has serious logical errors, get's too cheesy at a few moments and the music is sometimes over the top. The message is ok, but at some points it seems to be constructed with a common set of story elements, which are used in other movies. That happens especially when it comes close to the end. For me as a movie dude it feels like I saw those in another version earlier with other actors. I think if they would have spent a little more money for a better script, it could have been more delightful. The idea of this movie is good.
I would recommend it for people who like environmental scifi movies and who didn't see many of them.

I am a fan of what the Mothers of Invention called Cheapness. Science fiction movies, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, in which you could tell Godzilla was a man in a rubber suit, or see the strings suspending the rocket against the black backdrop of outer space. This film, made in Australia, is a modern version of Cheapness. The time machine at the center of the story appears to be a large piece of concrete piping decorated with blinking lights and plastic tubing. There is absolutely no CGI and only one or two soundstage sets. Paintings are used to depict future cityscapes. The story is disconnected, the script straight-up-corny, and the antagonists predictable. But, if you relax and enjoy, without looking for the lack of continuity, it's entirely enjoyable escapism. I really don't think this movie takes itself too seriously and you shouldn't either.
What could have been brilliant was spoiled by a huge inexplicable plot fail. Poor acting generally and I'll conceived casting. Except for Ryan who added some well needed substance. Good plot except for the massive hole in it. Hard to believe someone would sign off on this prior to release, or at some point say... hey... hang on a minute, this doesn't actually add up!
