Beautiful, thought-provoking, gripping, well-written, well-filmed, well-acted, the adjectives cannot begin to describe what a complete package Devs is. Alex Garland has written something that while on the surface looks like another one of 'those' films (13th Floor) is something in a class of its own.
Initially, I was not taken by the main actors, and felt it hard to empathise, but the pacing and writing quickly moved the drama along. Intrigue, suspense, ethereal beauty all combined in a great story.
The sci-fi is not whizzbang, but eminently believable, maybe just a few years away. A concept easy to swallow and run with, yet leads to so many (infinite) possibilities.
I'd like to find some small flaw in Devs, but I am hard pushed to say anything was wrong. A masterpiece.
