Waste of time
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreIt is low budget, but very well made. Good screenplay, nice acting. The story is captivating, while the ideas that the movie explores can make you ponder life for a long time after you watched it.It is like a more sci-fi version of Inception that explores the ideas instead of making a show of them.I thoroughly like it, bar a few minor issues with the screenplay that make it hard to understand in what kind of reality the actions are taking or took place sometimes. Few of those connections I'm still missing even after re-watching parts of the movie.Solid 7.5/10. There is much more potential to explore with the plot, so I hope someone does a sequel with a deeper idea and bigger budget.
... View MoreOverall, a good sci-fi and a neat world, but as other users pointed out, felt the ending was quite weak. Also, although the runtime is only about an hour and a half, it felt much, much longer (and like the movie should have ended 30 minutes before it actually does).Ultimately, Black Mirror has been there, done that, but better and more compellingly. Still glad we are getting more of these type of smaller-budget films with interesting premises. In a similar vein, I also watched ARQ, which I thought was a bit more fun to watch (although ARQ is also a premise we have seen many times, done better)

All in all, a fairly predictable movie, especially the ending. Would recommend watching Total Recall, the Matrix, or Inception instead of this one if you want a more engaging and well-written movie with a good execution, however, this one will suffice if you're bored and just looking for any thrilling Sci-Fi to watch.The "DMT security" was a nice reference to DMT, the psychedelic drug, which I laughed at. Clearly this was the source of inspiration for the writers, considering the DMT-type visuals that were added in some scenes.5.5/10
... View MoreA really excellent story idea with great actors but the story development felt a bit lacking for my taste. So much undeveloped potential, especially with why her brother would "choose death" when given the drug.Also, she seems to have quite a full life even if her brother is in a coma. Cutting edge research, a hot boyfriend, yet she is so desperate to bring her brother back, this plot should be developed further so the audience can understand why she wants to use the drug to rewrite memories instead of simply creates new ones, and can be used to create conflict with motivations of other supporting characters. Also the primary antagonist should be given some motivation as to why he is so desperate to push the line with using the main female lead as a test subject.
