Like watching a 1.5 hour video game only a lot less fun (spoilers inside)

The POV was refreshing and interesting at the beginning as a storytelling device, but wow did it go downhill fast. Awkward hand motions, looking at your feet while you are running (I mean, seriously, has anyone looked at their feet while they ran since they were a kid?!?!! This is a sure way to get killed!) and shaky-cam/temporary-deafness/red-screen on bullet strike make this film nearly unwatchable.
During the drone fight at the end I kept thinking "boss level". BTW, "Drone control available, do you want to control the drones?" "Yes. No. Ignore." Hmmmm...let me think about it. I mean it was beyond bad. TBH, if they made a video game I'd probably want to play it, but as a film? It's torture. (Seriously, is this a video game? Maybe the movie was just a 1.5 hour promo for a game launch....)

for the love of god, don't do it. after a promising opening scene, this film just fell apart. chronology thrown to the wind for no narrative purpose, wafer thin characterisation and plot and far too much v-fx. the one positive is that it looked a lot more expensive than it is, but all in all, a terrible film. it is a shame really as there were some plot elements, such as an ostensibly altruistic company becoming evil, and the circumstances that would have the government to allow a private company to send it's own militia into the streets, that would have been worthy of further development.
