Spark Riders is an intriguing take on the intersection of technology and humanity. The film has this gritty, almost dystopian vibe, which really captures the essence of a world where souls can be uploaded to the internet. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it actually adds to the underlying tension, making you feel the stakes. The performances are decent, especially the lead, August Haynes; she brings a certain depth that elevates the material. Practical effects are employed pretty well, lending a tactile quality to the sci-fi elements. Themes of greed and power resonate throughout, creating a morally ambiguous landscape that’s kind of refreshing in the genre. It’s unique, that’s for sure, definitely sticks with you long after the credits roll.
