About
You’ll like this if you enjoy classic sci-fi remakes with a big leap into the future and an insistence that certain events can’t be rewritten; Not for you if you need tightly paced storytelling, or if you prefer a more faithful take on Timeline or Doctor Who: The Movie.
Pros: engaging sci-fi premise; strong lead performance; imaginative future worlds | Cons: uneven pacing; mixed future visuals; some plot confusion
