Claustrophobic, gross needle stuff, making phone calls... it's like this movie was made to scare me.

Basically a sci-fi version of the abysmal "Buried", propelled by exposition twists and featuring an AI character, which makes several different reasons why I should have despised it. It's all really tacky in every way, and the ever-present talking interface is particularly silly (they never write these convincingly), but I nevertheless found the movie surprisingly watchable. I imagine avid fans of existential sci-fi thrillers might like this a lot, and it sure beats "Buried".

Several aspects of the plot were relatively predictable, I guess, but Laurent gives it her all, and this is the kind of sci-fi I always welcome.

Immensely frustrating because of how long it takes to move the plot forward. Lots of dreamy flashbacks at the start and a prolonged end do it no favors. Underneath is a poor man's Buried (2010) with a few nice sci-fi trappings. Laurent does a decent job. While I think the plot just manages to make sense, the suspension of disbelief is on the high end of the scale.

The science part of it did not make too much sense for me, and the actions she took made zero possible sense, even under pressure. But as a concept and the way it was put together makes it well worth the watch. Not amazing, but decent. Laurent is stunning as always.
