A good movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since I heard some pretty good things about it, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it definitely turned out to be an intriguing movie, that’s for sure. Indeed, I really liked the melancholic and meditative tone. Furthermore, even if there was nothing really high-tech, this depiction of the future was pretty neat. Finally, Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith both delivered some solid performances, even if, in my opinion, Turner-Smith was actually underused here. It’s a shame because she is such a charismatic actress but, on the other hand, it’s difficult to really judge her after watching only 4 of her movies. Anyway, coming back to the movie itself, even though they went for an intriguing approach, the end-result felt rather empty after all. I mean, their android got defect and then they spent the whole duration trying to figure out what to do with him. Sure, I understand that, because Yang was so kind and empathetic, they all felt a deep connection with him, especially Mika, but I wish they took a decision at some point, either fix him or get rid off him. It was also frustrating that, even though it was obviously supposed to be the main focus, you never really get to see how this couple was handling this loss after all. It was especially frustrating with Turner-Smith’s character. Indeed, we get to see her talking only once with Yang and her relationship with Colin Farrell’s character was also barely developed. Fortunately, the mood was really neat but, to be honest, I don’t think this movie had much else to offer though. Anyway, to conclude, even if it didn’t really blow me away, it was still pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
