The acting wasn't terrible. The soundtrack full of kid's electronic keyboard reminiscent of terribly-conceived 80s soundtracks was terrible.
The inexplicable lack of decent overhead lighting in any setting was, well, inexplicable. It was reminiscent of Blade Runner, but in Blade runner, at least one had the sense it was due to it being somewhat of a slide down the other side of an undramatic apocalypse. In this case, there was no reason for the fact that the world had lost all desire for lighting or color.
The plot almost made sense. It was choppy and hard to follow (this coming from someone who has read this type of story for 37 years).
In summary: The characters were undeveloped, the plot confusing, chaotic (not in a good way), and inconsistent. The plot did not gel. The lighting was annoying, distracting, and inexplicable. The soundtrack was HIGHLY annoying and distracting. The plot was poor. The acting was okay.
The only reason I got to the end of the movie was the subject-matter. I await the day when a good SF story covering this subject matter is made into a movie.
