Slow paced but the idea works well. Shot really well - it's grimy. A powerful scene later that contrasts the tone beforehand and it has an impact on the senses and is thought provoking. The company secret was pretty predictable. The half romance wasn't needed but also didn't ruin the movie. I recommend this for people that like older sci-fi

Are there really some alt-right idiots in these comments calling the plot paranoid or outlandish? Look at this movie, then look out your window. This is another proof environmentalists and the left were right the entire time. They were right 60 years ago, and we're in this mess because you rightwingers were to ignorant / sociopathic to acknowledge that. Thanks.

There, in teeming piles, they await the next delivery of clean water and highly processed food products. The projection is that New York City alone houses some forty million peo More

I suppose modern cinema, technology, and the wonders of CGI has spoiled me; this is the second mid-1970's I've watched in the past couple days and it's just almost hard to sit through even a relatively short hour-and-a-half-long film that's this bad by today's standards. The acting was atrocious, th More

This story takes place in the bleak future of 2022 but it feels very much like 1973. There are some moments of inspiration but a number of tricks have been missed in imagining a dystopian future, notably race, gender and technology. I know that dystopia is supposed to be worse but it looks rather li More
