I just went over to metacritic to see how the film is being reviewed, and BOY are the chuds mad. I saw a literal Nazi username saying the movie sucks blah blah blah. Went to report it but you need an account for that. Makes me want to see it in theatres even more now

I watched this today and really enjoyed it.

I'm not going to pretend it's the greatest or deepest sci-fi film ever made, but it's fun if you are into dystopian; it's almost Gilliam esc. but it doesn't quite embrace it fully.

The Messianic cult leader is a little on the nose and as 2D as his realife inspiration is.

It doesn't explore all the possibilities or offer real depth to what is a complex topic, but as a soft sci-fi story it's a fun and sometimes funny way to pass a couple of hours.

The idea of 3D printed resurrection machines isn't new. It's pretty much the whole basis of the Undying Mercenaries series by B.V. Larson

Yeah, but the concept also has a LOT of space to play in but most writers play it safe. Way too many just treat is as a handwavy checkpoint system and move on with the plot they care about.

Soma (video game, not a book) was a really horrifying dive into being able to save and upload a consciousness. Not a lot of stories try to dive into how do you know if a "copy" of you is truly a copy. It's like a Turing test on steroids trying to figure this out. Being able to practically test just how different someone can be from a single different event.

It's one of the things I really enjoyed about the Bobiverse series (although apparently later on they added the idea of a soul, which just kinda seems like a cop out to me)

The cloning in space narrative was also covered by Moon (2009).

That's a bit of a spoiler, isn't it?

With respect to Moon? Yes, but the movie has been out for 16 years.

Just saw the trailer, I like the tone, hope it’s good.

I’m still mad at snow piercer… why the fuck do they need to be constantly moving? That’s the worse thing for heat insulation!

I enjoyed it personally. Felt very easy to watch and the cinematography was fun.
