Nice sound design and a fun idea, but too slow-paced to be enjoyable.

I like how low-budget this is. They really knew how to stretch their (Canadian) dollar for the special effects in this production. The sound design is also terrific. The premise is pretty cool and interesting. Unfortunately the praise ends here.

The film is really slow-moving. At over 100 minutes it feels really padded and would have been much improved by being edited down to 75 minutes. But I guess TV movies have timeslots to fill... it was clear that all artistry went out the window when it comes to tightness of pacing. The story was stretched out with unnecessary sequences and elongated shots as filler. You might think that the beginning of a movie is allowed to be gently-paced... well it remains that way for the rest of the movie!

There was another movie with the same title and premise released in 1993 but American made. It can't be anywhere near as bad as this one.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
