Decent Sci-Fi Flick (Spoilers)


I enjoyed this for the most part because I think the premise is exactly where we are headed. Not the ability to age or de-age people, but control them through digital IDs, biometric identification, facial recognition programs for constant moderation, biotech corporations basically owning governments and controlling the populace through medical "advances" or what they deem necessary shrouded as a gift, but in reality, it's just profit for the few while the masses suffer and basic human rights are practically eliminated.

The film could have had some good twists as most are predictable, except for the ending, I didn't expect the wife to turn on him or actually go through with the procedure. Certainly worth checking out if you like dystopian films.

For some reason I kept thinking the movie was a giant metaphor for student loans.

Could be. They are visualizing how they suck the life out of you.
