It's really hard to review this movie objectively beying Czech, it doesn't look really comparable to Hollywood movies with massive budgets (and you have to know that before you visit cinema, don't expect Blade Runner with massive long shots to cyberpunk cities), but it's welcomed change here in our country, you have to consider how cheap this movie was (less then 2 milion eur).
Also you have to consider what kind of movies we normaly do, this is our first sci-fi after like 60 years! And after 2022 Jan Zizka (Medieval in English) this is the second try to do something more worldwide looking after many years, our film makers normaly don't even try, they make just TV movies targeted to a Czech viewer or fairytales or stupid comedy movies which are really low quality (which is sad, because our old comedy movies are really good), but Medieval had 10 times higher budget and looks worse than this super cheap movie.
Movie is just detective story from cyberpunk future, nothing too complicated, there are some nice ideas and moral dilemats, creators say that they worked on that for 9 years, so people who say it's stealing from Altered Carbon should consider that it's just a coincidence, the same asi similarities to Cyberpunk 2077.
Movie takes place somewhere in "central Europe" and names and places are selected on purpose that you don't exactly know where it is, some names are Czech, some Polish, some sounds German and city is mix of Prague, Warsaw and few other cities, but due to low budget, the vast majority of shots is very short and places where something is really doing on are small, similar to TV movies or theater, which is logical with that budget, part of movie takes place in comunity of people who deny technology, which is a logical way to save money, but I noticed that a lot of people hate the movie for not beying enough sci-fi and Cyberpunk, they have to know the budget! It's a miracle what they did with that money and it's just a start, if it earns money, they have big plans with this universe, so please support this movie made by new young creators with mostly new actors and actresses and you will get more in the future.
