Interesting?
Seems pretty well done for an Indie flick.

pfff. old hat. Sounds like TTLG
I'd check it out. I guess the guy who made it is close personal friends with Adam Jones, who is a pretty phenominal film director.

Hopefully it has some intelect in there and doesn't end up faux-philosophical trash like Equilibrium or Avalon.

What are you TALKING ABOUT man Equilibrium was great! (bet you saw that one coming eh?)
I'm not gonna argue that the plot was unique or that there are any lessons to be learned from it but the actionscenes and Christian Bale's performance alone are enough to place it in the "great" category. That scene where the gramophone comes on, man! IS YOUR HEART MADE OF STONE??
Anyway, not that Offline seems to have much in common with Equilibrium. But it seems to have very good production values for an indie development.

It's a simple minded collage of every dystopia cliche that manages to have some really good actors and some really good action to distract everyone from its vapidity.
Action geeks and visual stylists should stay away from thinky stuff if they can't bring anything but gimmicks to the table.
