Stream

In the year 2050, the film ‘Stream’ hints on how technology clashes with moral issues in tales of the future. As the world evolves and a new, more interactive device is created, the possibility of streaming one’s consciousness into virtual worlds opens doors to utopias in which anything is possible. However, when the originator of this technology (who is played by Oscar Isaac) starts feeling paranoid that his technology is being abused, he gets an ex-hacker (Zoë Kravitz) to help him figure out who was trying to misuse the invention. What they uncover is an evil plot on the verge of changing the very nature of existence.

Positive Aspects:

Negative Aspects:

Intricating Plot: The details of the movie and the science fiction elements may be too much for some people, more so the ones who are not used to science fiction films.

Weak Contrasting Characters: Some idle characters and subplots seem to be lacking any structures as if they have been cut off.
