Not a good watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. I was so excited to see Lindsey Morgan (Raven, "The 100") in a thing, and a cool looking alien dystopian thing at that. They almost immediate thrashed my dreams. Apparently there is an entirely "better" movie that we skipped to get to this one, and even that one was pretty odd. Ripping brains out of human heads to use as bio PCs for alien androids is just odd. It's not good, but it's not really that bad, just weird. The movie we do get is more of a alien fantasy story as opposed to the typical science fiction story with psychic/super powers, unnecessary and awkward aliens that only add subtitles. It sort of becomes "The Matrix" after a bit, but just a lot stranger feeling.
