Great idea, not so good execution
17 April 2021
The plot and the general idea of the film is very good. The design of the biomechanical devices and their interaction with the characters is great.

Unfortunately the script is very slow and static. It lacks the explosiveness of video games plots. The performances were flat and unconvincing, so much so that they bore the movie. The female lead is often unnecessarily sexualized and not always very successfully.

It could have been a really good movie, but it falls far short of the sci-fi movie average of its time.
