Zero Contact

Anything could be happening, even though technically — for the vast majority of the movie’s runtime — absolutely nothing is.

Comes across more like an interminable conference call than the edge-of-the-seat thriller it’s supposed to be.

A steaming pile of nada.

Hopkins’s character is a routine riff on the aloof tycoon. “I lost touch with my humanity,” he quips, “boohoo.”

Let’s just say that “The machine runs on dark matter reactor” is one of the script’s more coherent lines.

This is an unsuccessful attempt to make a movie out of a Zoom meeting.

Shot entirely via Zoom (and the first half has all the excitement of a work Zoom meeting) the movie that was infamous for being the first feature film to be released via an NFT platform--and it's terrible.

It's, basically, a tedious, barely coherent ZOOM call. Aside from watching Anthony Hopkins deliver mind-melding monologues and playing a piano composition, it's a cinematic waste of time.


Worst Zoom meeting ever.

High-concept techno-thriller Zero Contact is the latest mainstream movie determined to make a virtue out of the necessity of the Covid lockdown.
