I love sci-fi & really enjoy experiencing other cultures and countries takes on science fiction. Russia, South Korea and Japan in particular have produced some excellent stuff recently so I was really interested to see what the UAE would produce.
Unfortunately it was absolutely terrible, the pacing is woefully slow with little action, prepare yourselves for long, forced pointless conversations and people playing chess and sitting in traffic and some of the poorest acting I've seen on a screen for a long time!
I guess it's important to recognise that emirate cinema is in its infancy so this deserves praise for breaking some boundaries but apart from that there isn't anything here for most ardent science fiction fan.
