    It's always interesting but the parts don't come together or add up.

    Con todos los defectos que uno quiera encontrarle, el debut fílmico de Rivera es una notable película de ciencia ficción, cuyas ideas, inquietantemente posibles y verosímilaes, es con mucho lo mejor de una cinta a la que le faltó algo de presupuesto -aunque esto es lo menos importante- y una dirección más disciplinada y funcional por parte de Rivera, que cae a ratos en el vicio de sobre-editar las conversaciones de los personajes.

    Despite some clever virtual-reality concepts and projections about the next frontier of globalization, Alex Rivera's ambitious directing debut lacks the vision, or the budget, to pull off its fusion of sci-fi and aspirational saga.

    Science fiction easily lends itself to allegory, but while the dystopian near-future of co-writer/director Alex Rivera's feature debut focuses, admirably, on how globalization affects the third world, his ideas are as subtle as a light saber to the face.
