About
You may like Tau if you enjoy contained sci-fi thrillers with a tense, isolated setup and a focus on human versus machine; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a deeply original story, though fans of Morgan may still find it watchable.
Pros: interesting premise; sleek visuals; solid lead performance | Cons: uneven logic; predictable story; thin character work
