I watched this today and really enjoyed it.
I’m not going to pretend it’s the greatest or deepest sci-fi film ever made, but it’s fun if you are into dystopian; it’s almost Gilliam esc. but it doesn’t quite embrace it fully.
The Messianic cult leader is a little on the nose and as 2D as his realife inspiration is.
It doesn’t explore all the possibilities or offer real depth to what is a complex topic, but as a soft sci-fi story it’s a fun and sometimes funny way to pass a couple of hours.
I am going to go watch it this coming Thursday (first day when it’s available in English in my country).
Hope you enjoy it!
I just went over to metacritic to see how the film is being reviewed, and BOY are the chuds mad. I saw a literal Nazi username saying the movie sucks blah blah blah. Went to report it but you need an account for that. Makes me want to see it in theatres even more now
The idea of 3D printed resurrection machines isn’t new. It’s pretty much the whole basis of the Undying Mercenaries series by B.V. Larson
The cloning in space narrative was also covered by Moon (2009).
