POSITIVES…
Whole concept of “the Archive technology” is a world building plot detail that I did find quite interesting.
Watching Theo James having a conversation with a boxy looking robot can be pretty entertaining.
I like the pseudo futuristic setting, with excellent cinematography.
The robot body designs for “J1,” “J2,” and “J3” look great.
Theo James was good in carrying this movie, but it's Stacy Martin that truly stands out.
Has some familiar themes about our connections with technology and death that the movie tackles, but it's presented here in fascinating ways.
Gotta appreciate the direction and screenplay by Gavin Rothery for bringing his vision of a future world to life.
NEGATIVES…
It’s a little slow moving, meanders too much, and takes its sweet time to get to the main big plot of actual interest.
The whole movie simply could be shorter. It could have been short enough to be a typical episode of Black Mirror.
I found the character of George Almore to be quite frustrating.
Some questionable narrative plot decisions.
Slight pet peeve of mine, but showing low quality, glitchy, black & white, visual communications in a presumably futuristic setting, does not make it look more believable, especially when modern day visual chats looks more futuristic in comparison.
