This was going to get two stars but the very ending of the film is pretty good. The middle, oh my. It consists mostly of a useless main character and his buddy running around. If I genuinely cared for any of the characters in the first place I might go back and figure out exactly what was meant to be going on with them,
despite the lack of character development related to communicating their friendship to the audience, which would get us to feel their bond in a deep down way and engage better with them.
The main character is difficult to root for because he is sniveling much of the time and not able to work anything out... until the very end, which as stated, is excellent.
The young boy in this was the most believable performer. The adults... hmm. Better direction and casting are needed here.
The creators could have done a bit of chemistry research. In the film we have 'artificial' oxygen which is somehow toxic compared to 'regular' oxygen. Guys, Oxygen is Oxygen however the heck it is made. Mix it with the right ratio of gasses, you have air. Did the people in 2067 forget there are three forms of oxygen or the like? If toxic, it's no big feat with the tech we have right now to work out why. Then extract the toxin, pathogen or non-diatomic molecules and presto, the air will be good for all. Why was this not done, or tried? Also, it's air we breathe, not just oxygen. Breathing Oxygen only will kill you.
