More holes than plot in this cheesy movie
17 July 2021
The whole story makes no sense whatsoever. It's a litany of gratuitous plot devices, complete with a massive conspiracy apparently weaved by yet another confederacy of dunces (how hard is it to shut up someone lying helplessly tied in a glorified coffin?) and arbitrary, magical bits of technology whose sole purpose is to advance the plot (why else would anyone provide broadband Internet connection in a cryogenic pod?).

The pace of the movie is dictated by this suave-voiced Artificial Intelligence that can perform miracles or become dumb as a brick according to what titbit of information is supposed to be disclosed or withheld at a given moment.

Mélanie Laurent is a good actress and the filming is not bad, but the plot is so riddled with absurdities no actor nor settings could have looked convincing for more than a few minutes.
