    • Trivia
      Amanda Seyfried (The girl)was originally nervous about doing her brief nude scene in the movie,but she ultimately found it an enjoyable and empowering experience.The actress playfully remarked on-set that she might not have minded if the script called for a futuristic world where everybody didn't wear clothes.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning of the movie, a dog is identified as "Weinmaraner" (Name: Bebop). The actual name of the breed is "Weimaraner", named so for the city of "Weimar" where it was first bred.

    sci-fi

    It's a world where everybody's POV is being recorded and accessed through a vast database called The Ether. Solving crimes has become easy for police investigator Sal Frieland (Clive Owen) until a series of killings where all the recordings have been hacked and corrupted. Charles Gattis (Colm Feore) is his supervisor. Suspicion falls on a mysterious woman (Amanda Seyfried) who is able to erase her image from the database.

    This is pure old fashion sci-fi. It's been stripped down. There are no car chases. Even the sets are unadorned which makes sense when one's vision can be altered anyways. This is reminiscent of reading an old sci-fi story. It's a fascinating world but only for true sci-fi fans. It's a black and white movie in a world of color. The thrills are drained from it but one can see it. There is one section where Sal's vision is being constantly corrupted which could have been a great CGI action sequence. Although I wouldn't likely to accept it since the audience knows it to be a fake. This will divide the audience between those who like old sci-fi stories from those who like action sci-fi.
