This is a theatrical release?
The trailer looks like a SyFy movie of the week. Acting and effects appear to be awful.

It's true to the novel, but that's the best I can say for it.
Some books simply do not translate well to the screen. My favorite example is Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse Five" which was an ill-adapted fantasy.
I liked the book a lot and really tried to like this film, but no. The acting is flat, the soundtrack is dreary and forgettable. The characters are one-dimensional.
PKD deserves better treatment.
