Annon (2018) (Netflix original)
8/10

Real science fiction. In the near future, or alternate reality, all humans are implanted with an a local and Internet connection that records what they see and hear, a virtual reality recording, if you will. Seeing what someone did or did not do is easily accessible. A 'police detective' official (Clive Owen) investigates a series of murders... which hasn't been so difficult in a long time... if you can imagine this type of reality. The story alludes to obvious concerns of totalitarianism and (perhaps unintentional) allusions to 'Judgement Day.

I respect this film's commitment to the science fiction topic it's engage in. That's exactly what I want in most sci-fis. The film has excellent production value, including the special effects and cinematography, which doesn't require anything big or flashy. There is suspense, but it's not the film's forte; and those looking for action, romance and comedy, or even character development, will likely find the film lacking. But for those looking for an intellectual engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi, this film delivers the goods.
