The movie starts off slow, but that's ok. It's sets up the characters and the premise of cyber security. It was engaging enough for me to say hey, I'll keep this on. I felt the direction it was headed in was good enough. That was until Raza, the main, started talking about conspiracies and ai take over a la terminator.
The moment it went into rise of the machines, the movie became lackluster. Even as a technology person, I was willing to overlook how easily they were changing the programming and code of the app, but once it turned to conspiracy and paranoia, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. It's almost as tho a different writer did the second half of the movie.
The characters were ok, at least nice to look at. The setting, while basic, held up nicely, until the whole terminator future stuff, which was only 12 days into the future lol. The ending was a cop out. The chick in the coat causes the future to happen, and she was aware of it, but instead of playing on that, they make it out to be a joke. But the chick Monica knows it's not a joke, which leaves the audience to believe that everything they saw is about to happen. The ending alone brought the rating down for me
