This movie was amazing to look at and contains some great dystopian images, but there was just no story. Visually it reminded me quite a bit of FALLOUT 3, though much more sophisticated. There was never a time when I didn’t enjoy looking at what was on screen. But no story! As others have noted, it starts in media res, with things well underway and with minimal exposition. There was insufficient explanation about who the bad guys were and why they were doing what they were doing, or even what it was that they wanted to do. The basic themes of the film were unclear and simply didn’t make much sense. The narrative was as weak as one can imagine. And to top everything off, it wasn’t clear what it was that the apparent heroes needed to do to resolve the crisis. It was as if 99% of the effort in the film was put into visuals and 1% on story and exposition.
This really is not a film that I can recommend. Being about machines and dystopia put the film directly in my area of interest, but I can honestly say that there was not a moment during the film where I was truly entertained. Heck, I’m not sure there was a single moment that I wasn’t borderline bored.
