A film to warm the cockles of your geeky heart, an incredibly ambitious and profoundly provocative science fiction drama about ideas that require no FX to sell them. I’m “biast” (pro): yay! real science fiction! yay!
I’m “biast” (con): nothing

It’s a metaphor for privilege and chance and even romantic attraction, though...
