To begin with, in this movie, a series of rather generic and somewhat cheesy stories unfold. When elements of science fiction are added, they seem quite silly and uninspired, and at times, downright stupid. This makes the more 'earthly' stories turn out to be the most effective. When addressing the concepts that make up each of the stories, they become Manichean and reductionist, both in conflicts and motivations, providing a very limited reflection on the themes addressed.
The only story that caught my attention a little was the one about Cavendish, which at least I can say was fun.
The narrative is nothing special, and the idea of telling all these stories simultaneously doesn't seem to have a purpose in itself but appears to come solely from a poor attempt to be innovative. In the end, it only results in a handful of poorly combined stories that drag on long enough to make you wonder several times, 'How much longer until it's over?'
The dialogues are very poor at times, and at some moments, they release phrases that seem intentionally placed to appear eloquent, but with all the clumsiness around them, they only end up revealing themselves.
The cinematography doesn't stand out at all; it looks like a commercial for the next iPhone camera. The image is so 'clean' that everything seems overly artificial, and combined with poor production design, it makes everything look terribly flat and empty.
