Hopkins plays Finley Hart, the eccentric genius behind a global data-mining program. Upon his death, five remote agents -- including Finley's son -- are contacted by a mysterious A.I. entity to reactivate the initiative, which may enable time travel.

Anything could be happening, even though technically — for the vast majority of the movie’s runtime — absolutely nothing is.

Comes across more like an interminable conference call than the edge-of-the-seat thriller it’s supposed to be.

This is an unsuccessful attempt to make a movie out of a Zoom meeting.

.5/4

Shot entirely via Zoom (and the first half has all the excitement of a work Zoom meeting) the movie that was infamous for being the first feature film to be released via an NFT platform--and it's terrible.

It's, basically, a tedious, barely coherent ZOOM call. Aside from watching Anthony Hopkins deliver mind-melding monologues and playing a piano composition, it's a cinematic waste of time.

I thought this movie was phenomenal. Creative story line as well. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The filming was incredible especially when you consider there was no contact between actors and film crew, etc. It was innovative, entertaining and perfect...

I really cannot believe the ratings this film got. I'm not a cinema buff but I don't understand how people weren't captivated by the how much tension it was building with so little. I have never been so captivated by a chance view. I knew this was going to be a bit of a yarn, but that's ok for a film. (It's the captivation people have for five seasons of 100s of hours of absolute time wasting drivel before people get bored and we quickly wrap it all up in half a session I don't understand) This was fantastic. And some great performances (not just Anthony) again with such a limited tool set. Thank you for this original experience

This half a star belongs to Aleks Paunovic and Rukiya Bernard for playing the only characters with beating hearts in this film. Appreciably it was a challenging movie to make, in lockdown, but the lazy gaps in plausibility,the introduction of the baddy after about 80% of the film was over, and one of the central characters being able to time travel without apparently knowing how, vital plot points happening off-stage, all had that kids make-believe game feel about it. The sciencey-wiency stuff was time-filler and the whole thing was stitched together with some hackneyed graphics. It was a laudable attempt but unfortunately missed the target by miles. Shows a film can be made during the limitations of lockdown, but not a good one...

One of the worst movies I've seen. I couldn't watch past half way. It makes going outside in the rain seem like a better option that sitting down to watch this movie. Nothing happens in this movie.
