SPOILERS: I went into this movie thinking it would just be a pretty basic low-budget sci-fi film about cryosleep, but I came out of the movie utterly surprised by its potent, soul-wrenching religious themes. It's about a dying, senile Babylonian who believes his worldly technological accomplishments can help him achieve the divine and earn him eternal life - but he and his followers are woefully mistaken, and their actions instead lead them to an eternal hell. The truth embedded into this twisty story gets me in the feels! I loved it.
Now, about my gripes with the movie. It's not perfect. Clearly it was made by film students or recent film graduates. But that makes it all the more impressive that such young talent could construct something like this for pennies! It's also a bit overly-convoluted at times, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless.
