POSITIVES
Fascinating world building for this possible future, and the advanced tech of that time, coupled with this insightful and moving story about this family.
Moments. Memories. Perspectives. Loved how the film handles them, and they are a key part of the narrative. Contemplative. Touching even. Emotional stuff.
Interesting themes, philosophy, and ideologies presented here. Real world thoughts we can relate with right now, and sci-fi ideas that we already know are a possibility.
Visually pleasing. Calming to look at even. I also like how it handles the different aspect ratios depending on the context.
THAT family dance competition. Congrats to the cast for performing it. Solid cast overall, kudos to Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, Haley Lu Richardson, plus more.
NEGATIVES
The slow pacing is not going to be for everybody. People might get bored if they don't find the premise interesting.
There is one significant plot element, and especially one specific scene in particular, that I found highly pretentious.
Faces the limits of trying to make the future look timeless. Questions you will have that you will not get answers for.
I'm sure it's intentional, but it seems like the acting is purposefully subdued. Not a fan of that.
It's just weird to see everybody dressing like they are Asians, especially when they're not.
