This just popped up on my feed.

Woman held captive in cyber/VR house.

Looks interesting, but imdb doesn't think so at 5.7

Anyone watched yet?

Netflix has had some dubious choices recently when it comes to sci-fi films, such as; The Titan, Cloverfield Paradox, Mute. To me, this looks like another one.

It's done well with Sci TV series though, the Expanse, Star Trek and Lost in Space...

Indeed. I'm just talking about their sci-fi films.

I'm baffled how they have good sci-fi TV shows, but when it comes to films, at least those mentioned, they don't seem to know what is good and what isn't.

Not looked into this film, but it sounds a bit like the 70s classic The Daemon Seed.

Well worth watching if you like cult stuff.

They got it right with Annihilation, that's for sure.

Spectral wasn't too bad and neither was Annihilation.

Check out The Guest as well for more Maika Monroe, hugely underrated film that not enough people have watched.

Yep, seen that one thanks. Very good.

Watched this last night, was ok i suppose.

Bit stupid how the computer geek pretty much tells her what she needs to know to get the ai doubting his orders. He says something like controlling the flow of information.

20 minutes in and I gave up.

Is it just paint by numbers cliché after cliché? Or I there something new here?

I watched this the other night, it’s not bad and worth a watch to pass 90mins or so. Fairly early on it’s pretty obvious where the film is heading. If it was a cinema release I wouldn’t have bothered but on Netflix it’s probably at home.

Seems to be the case for a lot of Netflix stuff lately - I guess catering for an increasingly younger generation who've never seen some of the real great movies :s which doesn't inspire me for Lucifer now they've taken it on

I've been close to cancelling my subscription several times I dunno how much longer it will be.

Their TV shows are the only things keeping me as a subscriber. They're normally very good.
