    Brilliant Idea, poor direction

    When you watch this movie for the very first time, you will soon realize that you are facing a very bizarre but brilliant atmosphere . Somewhere is London possibly but in the future.

    The Idea of this movie is quite attractive, it will engage your mind and your guts in a very emotional way and it tells a story about people's challenges and difficulties as n a different era, it is future and people are changed but not in a good way except technology.

    However, it is a shame the director of this movie was not able to deliver the same quality of the initial idea . It is the shame that the DOP work was disastrous, lack of stage direction, lack of right camera movement, incorrect framing , lack of actors direction and not even a good engaging editing . This movie could have been positioned one of the top 30 movies in the world , this movie could have been compared with blade runner at some point but the movie director wasn't chosen wisely and did destroy the whole work.

    Finally the production design team did a very good job and it was right for purpose of this movie.
