Outside of some reserved dramatic work from Kristen Wiig, this didn’t have much going for it. I certainly like the cast. Hailee Steinfeld I love obviously and Nick Nolte was pretty wholesome. Problem is, the central relationship that develops didn’t earn my investment. Guy Pearce’s character I found unlikeable and thought Wiig deserved way better. Things play out very slowly only for it to speed way up near the end by hitting a bunch of milestones. Unfortunately wasn’t an engaging indie.

Christian Bale makes this 10x better. I just find it insanely watchable seeing his character gradually feel emotion while undergoing an internal conflict. It's best not to take this too seriously. It's a slice of early 2000s dystopian cheesy sci-fi goodness and it knows it. If this got a higher budget, a bigger studio behind it and a more prominent director, this could've been on the level of other beloved sci-fi movies.
