Guy Pearce, Matilda Lutz and Travis Fimmel star in the sci-fi thriller set in Zone 414, a dangerous, dark colony of humanoids known as "the city of robots." The colony's creator (Fimmel) hires private investigator David Carmichael (Pearce) to track down his missing daughter. David teams up with Jane (Lutz), a highly advanced A.I. equipped with the same technology of her fellow humanoids, but with all the emotions, feelings and dreams of a human being. They travel through the city uncovering clues and a crime that calls into question the origins and true purpose behind the city of artificial humans.

Critics Consensus

Zone 414 wastes a game Guy Pearce while ill-advisedly begging comparisons with numerous superior sci-fi thrillers.

Poor man's Blade Runner. Being a huge fan of the genre I thought this was actually pretty good.

Kind of meandering, like if someone described Blade Runner to someone else and then asked them to make an opposite 'find the human in the robots' movie. Not bad, but not Blade Runner

Película complicada. En varios aspectos es mala, básicamente un film bajo presupuesto con una idea que ya se hizo varias veces antes de mejor forma, exceso de diálogos e intentos fallidos de debates filosóficos. Por otra parte destaca por cubrir sus falencias, logrando ser entretenida por tener buen ritmo y alguna vuelta de tuerca. ¿Digna de ser vista? Tal vez, eh visto peores. ¿Olvidable? Casi con seguridad.

It's been done before, but this is a decent journey into cyberpunk. Forget the bad reviews and just watch it for the noir-cyberpunk mashup.

Thalyson M

All main characters lack motives for their actions, backstories seem incomplete, all the cliches you can think of were inserted in the script, the plot twist is extremely obvious, once it gets there, you don't even want to watch the end. The zone of robots is very strange, given its an urban area supposedly full of humans and robots, there is maybe 10 people there, the zone seems depthless. The "villain" dialogue is so bad that it's hard to finish the movie with secondhand embarrassment.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

What a waste of Pearce this movie is, requiring him to chase after baddies in underground car parks and run the gamut of facial expressions from glower to grimace.

New York Times

"Zone 414" isn't a bad-looking film, fittingly apocalyptic, if generically stylized, thanks to cinematography by James Mather. Still, one wonders why this perfunctory techno-noir exists in the first place.

InSession Film

Zone 414′s rushed, confusing, science fiction familiarity tries to do too much and will disappoint viewers expecting deeper sociological examination.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

It’s hard to watch Zone 414 without being reminded that are so many other better options for dystopian sci-fi films that create far more depth and engaging stories.

Rated: 4/10

Movie Nation

Any time one thinks "Well that line lands a punch, that scene crackled," the drifting narrative and occasional achingly-bad scene brings the picture to a halt.

Rated: 1.5/4

What To Watch

Guy Pearce (Mare of Easttown) struggles with a blue-collar Brooklyn accent while costar Matilda Lutz (Revenge) attempts to wrangle endless reams of expository dialogue in order to make this two-hander feel like something more than a double wank.
