It's no fantastic movie, granted.
The acting tends to be wooden, there's too much nudity which, for me, tends to lean to a belief to save a movie because it has nothing else to go on, there tends to be borrowing from various other movies and TV shows, but .......
the story is sound at least. Don't know if the same scenario exists in reality, but other aspects certainly do. Obvious plot holes that one might see at one point in the movie are solved at other points. People are reacting at points as they should be reacting, both professionally, occupationally, and personally.
To me, this is that "Saturday matinée movie". Go to see something that suggests an alternate society, world, to get lost in for 70 minutes or so. I work nights and for me, I rent videos to replace the "bore me to tears" dribble of daytime television. This movie accomplishes that.
If one were to watch it, by all means, rent it cheap.
Sci-Fi is, in its basic, the situation of "What if?". This movie does that, tells a nice little story, and wraps it decently up.
