4/10
Give it only 5m, unless...

... you truly believe all corporations are 100% evil, this movie is for you. Also...

... If you truly believe anything European will be automatically more original than Hollywood, this movie is for you. You don't even have to watch it to give a 9-star superb review!

As for me, some Hollywood movies are good, some are bad. Same goes for European films. Ares, for instance, is mostly bad. To compare Ares to Blade Runner you mustn't watch at least one of them. Blade Runner was written decades ago and was projected into a further future. Ares was produced a couple of years ago, projected only 2 decades ahead and yet people don't have smartphones and still buy printed newspaper. C'mon!

The narrative is worse than predictable, it is obvious. It feels like a movie written by an AI using TV Tropes as a tool.

On the bright side, Dystopian Paris deserves a star. The main reason it is worth to watch at least the first five minutes. Scoring and fight scenes also deserve a star: voilá, 4 stars!
