Amid the white walls and slick surfaces of this film, the characters seem more like lab rats than human beings.

More a collage than a movie.

It's a common enough problem in sci-fi movies. A filmmaker creates a totally convincing world but can't find a compelling story to put in it.

Winterbottom's movie may be cold, but it's still pretty cool.
