Zen B This is a charming movie that I highly recommend to anyone who is stressed out by today’s dark energy. Syfy that just adds to already morose feeling of doom. It starts out like so many other futuristic, sci-fi movies. then it develops into a much more positive and uplifting concept that makes for a great family entertainment. Not much action, not much violence not much blood nice character development you don’t see stuff like this too often these days. Take advantage of it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Cork B This is not exactly a full on movie - more like an extended episode of Twilight Zone - which I think it does really well. The dings are - it isn't a full movie, the world building setup makes no sense (other reviewers have gone into this in more detail), and it is pretty low budget. That all said, it is a cute short story with likeable characters and some pretty decent pokes at how technology isolates us. The movie even goes so far as make the isolation LITERAL with the pods. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Audience Member The film itself was not bad. It was well shot, the acting was good all round. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. When it got to the end of the film I was shocked it had ended. It felt like I had finished the first episode of a show and something was finally about to start happening. I think the concept would'vs done better as a show due to the realistic and slow pace of Darwin's recovery. The overall energy of the show was tepid, one child took minor issue with Darwins presence, one teenager cried about being abandoned. Other than that the whole pace was slow and pleasant. Possibly realistic but certainly tepid. Really this film was about human connection and what we lose when we replace it with technology. Misrepresented as a dystopian adventure full of mystery. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review jim i Gentle, charming, and whimsical. Absolutely not an action film. No evil people. No one gets killed. Some gentle romance. A challenging message, as we are glued to our screens. My favourite B movie of this century. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Gayle G I love the idea of this movie, but the details made no sense. I had guessed early on that there was no longer any human thinking behind the machines and that they were being run by mindless AI programs, but how were the people in the pods being taken care of? Where did the food come from? Where did the vape supplies come from? Who cleaned up and provided water to the pods? Whose crazy idea was it to have one person per pod? Why were the police drones so unable to spot people hiding? No heat seeking capability? How did the kid live in the pod for 9 years and not see anything but that dog? There were birds around, why hadn't he seen those before? Why did he so quickly abandon his mom? Why didn't he go to her pod as soon as he stepped out of his? Why was everyone so afraid of the police drones? When one caught Darwin, nothing happened. It acted like him being outside of his pod and visiting his mother was perfectly normal. Shouldn't the deluded pod people have all been rescued as soon as he found out there was no longer any government? Darwin just went back to his found family and enjoyed himself and the free people made no attempt to rescue the ones in the pods. There was not nearly enough backstory for it to make any sense. I know it's allegorical and metaphorical, but it still needs to make internal sense.
