Andrew Niccol is at it again: turning a brilliant, palpable sci-fi concept, into a story. Unfortunately in this case, it’s just too brilliant for a story, because the idea of a future where everyone’s POV experience is continuously recorded and accessed by others, is not only minimally explored here, the magnitude of such an invention is so severe, it could only end in a society’s collapse. And since the screenplay requires characters staring into space watching other people’s POV, this results in a frustratingly slow pace. Still waiting for Niccol to attempt something as great as Gattaca.
PS: Produced by and available on Netflix.
