2036
Origin Unknown 3/10
Despite
the low rating I am giving 2036 Origin Unknown this is not a terrible
film. It is mostly just dull. An AI named ARTI voiced by Steven Cree
is running things after a disastrous Mars landing years prior. Humans
can't handle things properly so we have to leave it up to robots.
Mackenzie Wilson played by Katee Sackhoff is on board this satellite
station while talking to her sister who I suspected of being an AI
herself. She wasn't. This is another person on board with Mackenzie
named Sterling played by Ray Fearson and whenever he was on screen my
brain shouted “Acting! I am acting! Look at me act!” It felt
weird. A monolith is discovered on Mars that can teleport to Earth
instantly and some light intrigue begins to happen. I would have
liked to know more about these characters and the in between of that
failed mission and this point but they somehow rush through this slow
feeling movie and the actual answers are not that interesting. I was
like “Okay. I guess.”
The
way this looked was nice. Not amazing but nice. I liked the music.
There was some odd choices for CGI at times and I was confused by the
ARTI program since it seemed to have the ability to jump back and
forth between being sentient and not when it fit the story. I also
laughed at the fact that even that far ahead in the future people are
still using their cell phones as a flashlight and that phones look
the way they do now. Hell, phones don't even look the way they did
just ten years ago let alone almost twenty years into the future.
This is on Netflix so you can check it out if you want. Just have
your caption on though because, holy shit, the sound is all over the
place. Is this a new thing with movies and TV? Have the talking parts
mumbly and the sound effects and music incredibly loud? And before
you ask, yes, I have my sound setting adjusted properly.
