Reading the synopsis of Tau I expected a movie like Cube, Saw, The Breathing Room, Circle etc. Namely a movie where people are taken against there will and forced to play a game of death. I love movies like that!
Sadly that is not what Tau is at all. It tells the story of a girl trapped in a house with both her captor and an advanced AI that prevents her from leaving. But to what end?
Tau looks the part, I enjoyed the setting and minimal cast but the story though interesting is badly flawed in some places and highly predictable in others.
Starring It Follows (2014) star Maika Monroe I feel that not only should the movie have been longer but maybe more should have been explained. A couple of unanswered questions left me frustrated and a couple more could certainly be considered plot holes.
This is a decent enough try by Netflix, but isn't exactly groundbreaking.
The Good:
Some nice ideas
Looks the part
The Bad:
Too many missing pieces
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Netflix is SO outstandingly inconsistent with the quality of their films
I want an advanced AI!
But seriously, this should have been one of those death game movies
