A pleasant UK sci-fi film, though the balance between drama and sci-fi wasn't quite ideal. At times, the entire setup felt too much like an excuse to do a British variant of a US "projects" film set in London. Other than that, there were some interesting ideas and the execution was on point, just don't expect anything too spectacular.
There's relatively little world-building and half the time the film doesn't even look all that futuristic, even though it's set in 2040. The performances are solid though and the drama is pretty decent. It's certainly not as bad as most ratings suggest, but I would've liked it better if it had stronger genre elements.
