This purports to be an anthology film, but its five parts have no connecting thread at all, except for vaguely being classifiable as dystopian sci-fi. The first part, after which the whole is titled, at least has a decent stab at a Black Mirror-derivative plausible near-future cautionary tale, with a woman slavishly dependent on her smart lenses that provide her with informative links and prompts generated by everything she observes becoming a victim of extortion by her tech. But the other stories are utterly pointless: a tedious story about a war between alien worlds, an aimless post-apocalyptic interlude, something about a woman in yet another future dystopia ruled by corporations alone, and then a very short rip-off of the end sequence of 2001. The makers obviously want to get the financing for a TV series, failed to do so, and thus opted to lump all their odds and ends into one bag and called it a single film.
3/10
