Critics Consensus

LX 2048 tries grounding its sci-fi conceit in relatable family dynamics, but is ultimately too thinly sketched and narratively diffuse to work.

[A] quirky, low-budget science-fiction feature...

Guy Moshe's dystopic science-fiction movie LX 2048 feels particularly timely and on-point, essentially channeling the nightly climate-change news (floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and so forth) into a wry, fantastical form.

I enjoyed it, but man -- there's a lot going on, and maybe too much.

Perhaps it would have worked better as a TV show. Because there's no escaping the wasted potential in LX 2048, where the confidence is evident in its themes, but not in its convoluted execution.

Rated: 2/5

LX 2048 is much more than its (neverless brilliant) concept -- it's a deep dive into what it means to be human.

Rated: 4/5

So predictable and formulaic that it should appeal only to dystopian sci-fi enthusiasts.

Watch it fully through. It may not have the complete slickness of high budget films, but it's concept is limitless. Blown away by how much it gets you thinking...

Another movie where you simply do not listen to the critical reviews which are split anyway. Plethora of ideas with what I thought was a gripping plot, well acted with impressive production. Far from misogynist, it shows man's struggle and our vulnerability to technology. oh, and money hungry ex wives! A film totally about connection. Ending left me thinking. Perfect movie for sci-fi fans who like to think!

This is an awesome take on Hamlet and if you don't get it then...faaaaaaaak, we are not going to make it as a species.

Extremely forgetable. If fact, even watching it for the first time I kept wondering if I saw this on a place three years ago.

If one enjoys dystopian cautionary tales then they shouldn't have much problem with this. Could this ever happen to human civilization? If everyone ‘does their part' then it eventually will. It does seem to have a lot of similarities to other sci-fi films but the overall plot focus seems off a tad and there's a lot of mundane dialogue that's kinda hard to follow. Not devoid of redeemable qualities though.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
