Good movie. Entertaining. Worth the time. It's no Blade Runner, but there are a lot of ideas at play, lots to mentally chew on. The "south of the border" POV works really well. And I liked the way the director didn't simply announce what year we were in and instead let us figure it out for ourselves. The details of the world all felt realistic and inevitable, like that's the way we're going technologically and socially. The lead actors were good, but a bit too old, looked like they were closer to 30ish when, for the story's sake, they should have been in their late teens or early 20s. The lead actress is beautiful but simply doesn't look Mexican (not Oaxacan at any rate). More like South American. The worst part was the special FX and animation. They look cheap. Which is a shame and doesn't do the rest of the film justice. Too bad the director didn't have a few million more bucks to spend on the FX and marketing, because this film deserves a look.
