- Sensibility: The film tackles a concept which, in its nature, is hard to rationalize, but also suffers from some curious decision making from Em's character in the ending.
- Cinematography: The film gives itself away as a low-budget movie primarily due to the editing choices. However, great choices on production design, costuming, and camera work make the film feel authentic while not breaking the bank.
- Energy: Great film suspended by solid dialogue writing and very strong, thought-provoking concepts. Only lulls a bit in a long stretch of odd inaction after a die-rolling authentication event.
- Narrative: Very strong parallel/multiverse storyline. Only issues lie in that many of the interesting conceptual ideas introduced are left largely unexplored. Very strong dialogue writing gives the characters and interaction a realism that gives the film a stronger dramatic effect.
- T-Points: The film received two bonus points: one for a great use and implementation of the multi-verse concept and one for the authentication procedure.
Solid low-budget sci-fi thriller. More proof that you don't need to break the bank to make a great film, just great writing and an inspired, hard-working team.
