Ethan Whyte, a tunnel worker, journeys through time to save the world when.
Director writer Seth Larney’s 2067 is slow burning impressive Australian science fiction mystery. The set pieces reminiscent of Blade Runner are impressive along with some great special effects. The acting is strong, Kodi Smit-McPhee is an interesting choice to carry the film but it’s Ryan Kwanten, clearly of leading man caliber, who steals the show oozing screen presence. However, Deborah Mailman is sorely miscast in a pivotal role.
It innovatively uses it budget, recycling the same location throughout time in keeping with the story. Again, when it’s echoing the cyberpunk vibes it’s breathtaking but these are few and far between. 2067 is impressive from a technical standpoint and while it has its own legs the twist you’ve waited for throughout isn’t as surprising or complex as the likes of Predestination, Time Crimes, Moon or the recent Archive. Nevertheless, Larney’s script has plenty to say about the world’s environmental issues especially climate change and scattered emotional moments.
Possibly 2067 only sin is the advertising marketing campaign dubbed it, “The best time travel movie since Avengers: Endgame", given said films flaws it’s not a good comparison for Larney’s sterling effort. As with the likes of Automata, The Machine, it is a great addition to the sci-fi genre and doesn’t try to be anything it isn’t, recommend.
