The film is slow in parts but clearly lacking a confident direction. Ridley Scott or James Cameron would have turned this into an acceptable box office release I think. As it is it's slow and boring in parts and lacking a consistent pace. Argenziano is pure B movie material, while Cusack puts in a mediocre performance trying to mimic a sadistic robot born from a megalomaniac human. He just appears bored and confused most of the time. Grubba's performance, although only lasting a few minutes, is by far the very best of the entire film, although Wacker is close behind her and the only person who worked hard throughout the run of the story. I'd expect big things from Wacker in the future. I don't even know what to say about Schaffner without chuckling. Dire? Bad? Uninspiring? Amateur? Hmmm...not really amateur, he's not as good as that. His constant 'wide eyed and droopy bottom lipped' expression reminded me of Taylor Swift and left me utterly cringing for him, and aghast that a director would let such a desultory performance be allowed past the cutting room floor. He almost ruins the film entirely although Wacker rescues it and turns it into an average film that's only ever worth watching once but for that once you don't feel as though you completely wasted your time.

Singularity
(I) (2017)
Average dystopian film that is worth a watch if you're a Sci-fi fan.
