    Amazing Movie!
    This movie is amazing in so many ways! Cinematography, special effects, story, acting. The ending scene was also very enlightening. It's won some awards too, all well deserved. This movie rates a 10 for me...usually, my highest rating is an 8. If you want a movie of a future gone bad, but given hope for a new start, then this is it. Watch it, and let it unfold slowly, and enjoy each moment! Two thumbs up 👍 👍

    Almost good, but, significantly lacking in substance
    Have you ever watched a show with an absolutely stellar first season, that either quickly derails (not because of hamfisted messaging that gets stuffed into just about everything nowadays) a couple of seasons in and limps along going forward?

    This movie suffers from the same thing, so to speak. Some TV shows are written with either only one season in mind, or so much of the "secret sauce" that made the writers/creators so excited didn't spill over and distribute evenly across the board.

    Vesper had a lot of interesting things on display, both conceptually and visually, but suffered from bizarre writing. Namely the way the stakes in the movie's universe are presented, the baffling choices the characters make, and an ending that truly feels like you've been punched in the gut after an hour and a half of talking to someone that kept your interest from waning until the last 30 minutes.

    While I enjoy movies that respect their audience and expect them to put the pieces together, this falls into the "oops, the jigsaw puzzle is missing half the pieces" category. The way that some of the components of the plot are explored are great- while others frankly fall flat on their face and end up both confusing and disappointing the viewer after attempting to garner emotional investment.

    I'm not sure if this was the by-product of an attempt to introduce a modicum of mystery... But it was neither a modicum or, true mystery. You're just left hanging.
