User Reviews

Interesting character development

I would whole-heartedly disagree with most user reviews on here. This movie, whilst dealing with a modern theme and millenial-style behavior, does in fact deal with quite some important matters. First of all, it has great character development. All the main characters are perfectly realistic and believable, even though not all of them are deeply refined. But they are not shallow at all (except for Sophie perhaps). Secondly, this drama is about relationship difficulties in a modern age where technology is not only taking up our time but significantly interefering with human relationships. And the Augmenta reality system is a realistic tool to gently portray these likely future tendencies. The movie is never boring and the dialogues are good. An interesting drama about how technology increasingly shapes and devestates our lives.
