First off I found this film to be like a PBS sci-fi movie. There's very little blood and gore but some violence but done in very very clean way. Also maybe the way the text credits are shown on the screen gives it that feel. Maybe even the way the people act and dress.
But while this film isn't anything like INCEPTION or TRON or STAR WARS I really think it's severely underrated.
The film takes place in a building complex run by a machine named Lola....which runs the whole building. She is run by smart or green power....but Lola soon becomes obsessed by wanting more power and likes to get it by vaporizing/transferring human bodies by getting their BTUs of body heat. To do so they just need to be near anything connected to the building mainframe (a light switch, phone, computer, electric key pass box) and poof.
Investigators already are trying to figure out what's going on and later that evening...Ten people become trapped in the building.
The only real complaints is that we don't quite get enough about what's going on with every character....like this thief who had something planned but it falls through and this other guy who's cheating on his wife and whether or not he's going to give this job to someone.
My only real complaint is the music/sounds gets annoying like a broken record from time to time.
But overall I really enjoyed this film and don't understand why it's below 5 stars.
This is sort of like this 1993 film called The Tower which I reviewed back in 2011 but I don't think that was a remake. If you like that one or this film than definitely watch the other....you won't be disappointed. If you didn't like this film or that film then you probably wouldn't like the other film.
