LX 2048

[A] quirky, low-budget science-fiction feature...

Guy Moshe's dystopic science-fiction movie LX 2048 feels particularly timely and on-point, essentially channeling the nightly climate-change news (floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and so forth) into a wry, fantastical form.

I enjoyed it, but man -- there's a lot going on, and maybe too much.

It's always fun when a little film comes out of nowhere that has the ability to surprise.

I'm not sure how good a movie it is, but it would be an excellent basis for a streaming series, in which its ambitious ideas would have time to develop.

While LX 2048 isn't equally satisfying on all fronts, it's more than successful enough to add to the where-are-we-going? syllabus.

Perhaps it would have worked better as a TV show. Because there's no escaping the wasted potential in LX 2048, where the confidence is evident in its themes, but not in its convoluted execution.

LX 2048 is much more than its (neverless brilliant) concept -- it's a deep dive into what it means to be human.

So predictable and formulaic that it should appeal only to dystopian sci-fi enthusiasts.

It is partially saved by some amazing key moments and twist. Ultimately, though, it's just too long and way too interested in its own cleverness.
