    7/10
    A decent popcorn movie
    It's not deep, clever, or witty; it's basically the Truman Show for the next generation.

    It is however very pretty and fast-paced. Ryan Reynolds is the same as ever, and that holds the film together.

    FAQ3

    • What does NPC stand for
    • When Antwan first appears, he's wearing a little jacket made to look like a U. S. Navy uniform piece, with Petty Officer 3rd Class chevron. He also has a ship/squadron shoulder badge that says 'U. S. S. ..? . Anyone see what that might say?
