A grand sci-fi flick that sets up an intriguing future and paints a pretty grim yet cohesive picture, offers a solid but tested plot and does all of that in a slim and slick 90 minutes.
A surprise return for Volckman. The result is a neat, creative genre film that invests a tad too much in the dramatic side of the plot. With a French director leading a Belgian/Russian duo in an English language film, that's just asking for trouble. Even so, there's plenty to love here, I just wish Volckman had stayed clear of the extra drama in favor of a purer genre approach.
