“This movie boasts a u0026quot;sci fi noiru0026quot; tag and I gotta say, itu0026#39;s a cop out. Itu0026#39;s more of a b grade movie than a noir film of any kind. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe soundtrack was repetitive cut and pastes of 80s u0026quot;soundsu0026quot; which were super cheesy and just gross. Look back to The Machine for an example of a decent sound track, this sounds like the version done by an inexperienced composer. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot itu0026#39;s self is basically what Primer did much better but it had a romance that was essential for the plot to work and unfortunately this writer and the lead actress cannot pull off romance. Donu0026#39;t make a romantic relationship the key to your plot unless youu0026#39;re as good at romance writing as you are science fiction writing. The other aspect of the film, which many unfairly compare to Dark City, is that they use an endless amount of gloss and dark lighting to try to make everything seem dark and gritty. Combined with the music it was just tedious to take in. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t get suckered in by the comparisons made to better movies or the u0026quot;noiru0026quot; tags.”
