- Sensibility: The film suffers from a two-pronged full-scale attack on reason due to the comedic-apocalyptic nature of the story and an added layer of goofy violence, antics, and unpredictability. The film treads heavily in absurd and comedic waters, often veering into slapstick.
The time travel elements adds another layer of complexity and tremendous irrationality to the main character's actions.
- Cinematography: Production design and costuming are highlights of the film visually whereas CGI, camerawork, and scene choreography are often lackluster or, in some instances, shoddy.
- Energy: Pacing is disturbed by the back-and-forth flashback-style storytelling and by the constant interruption in immersion by moments of pure nonsense. However, overall, it is a fun, energetic,
and creative film that is enjoyable.
- Narrative: The film has a pretty obvious warning message about technology, but communicates it through a humorous vector without dealing heavily in drama. While this may cheapen the film a bit, it also makes it unique in a way that is memorable.
Some of its points, particularly the ones around children are very well communicated through a kind of horrific comedy.
- T-Points: The film received two bonus points: one for Susan's ordering and first interactions with her clone son and one for a bit about having fun with clones that is funny in a sadistic way.
Fun, crazy film with a few moments worth seeing and a narrative that is incredibly unique.
