About This Movie

iBoy is an intriguing blend of action and sci-fi that really leans into the techno-thriller vibe. The premise, where Tom wakes up with smartphone shards in his head and some pretty wild superpowers, is both unique and oddly relatable in our tech-centric world. The pacing has its moments—sometimes it feels a bit rushed, especially when it dives into his rebellious streak, but that adds to the urgency of his situation. The performances, especially from the lead, carry a sense of teenage angst that's palpable. And while the practical effects aren't groundbreaking, they do add a gritty feel that works well within the film's tone. It's definitely a curious watch, steering away from typical superhero tropes, exploring themes of technology's impact on identity and connection.
