Future: Open

About This Movie

So, 'Future: Open' is this intriguing indie fantasy that dives into a dystopian world. You have this character, PADRE, who’s basically the ultimate authority figure – a mix of creator and dictator. It’s a wild premise with people who are almost like sheep, following their instincts, which is a commentary on conformity, I suppose. The atmosphere is dark and oddly whimsical, creating a unique visual experience, especially with its practical effects that feel refreshingly tangible. The pacing is uneven at times, but that contributes to the surreal vibe. Then there’s Eve, the first woman, who steps into power, which really shakes things up. It’s definitely a strange but thought-provoking watch, just not your typical fantasy fare.
