I feel like most of the "It's a Blade Runner rip off" reviews on here were written by people that went into the viewing of this movie with an already jaded attitude towards it and the mindset that it simply could not compare to some of the deep and compelling futuristic sci-fi movies of this genre that have some before.
That being said, if you watch this movie with the mindset that you'll take it for what it is, and enjoy the excellent acting of Guy Pearce, than you might be pleasantly surprised.
This movie is obviously low budget, but hides it well with some decent actors, a few cool special effects and a reasonably well written story line. It paints itself as a bit of a cerebral movie in the fact that if you do not listen to all of them dialogue, you will definitely miss important plot points. Zone 414 is dark and brooding with well placed theme music to accentuate the mood in many of the scenes.
Anyways, my synopsis is: Is it great? No! Is it good? Yes! Guy Pearce doesn't make a bad movie, and this film deserves more of a chance than it's gotten so far. Worth a watch.
