LX 2048

Takes a while to get going, but sort of fun future technodystopia where a company sells “insurance” where if a spouse dies, you get a clone within 48 hours… with the ability to request small custom improvements, of course. What could go wrong? (Hint: everything.) Not quite the movie it wants to be, padded out with unnecessary secondary ideas that are explored then just dropped, and so takes a little while to get going … would have been a very good Black Mirror episode, with tighter plotting. At twice that length feels a little long for the idea, but still, I’d give it a ‘B’. Reasonably well done, not great but definitely not crap.
