Never heard of this, but watched it instantly when I saw the impressive cast. However, it's not Hoult's strongest performance and Fanning is just a background piece for awhile and when brought into focus, she has had better roles. The ever reliable Shannon is reliably effective and I now see why Smit-McPhee was cast in The Power of the Dog. It's a similar type of role and he's good here too. I didn't know it was sci-fi when I turned it on, but it almost really isn't. It's more like a western set in the future. It's got atmosphere, some good photography, it's got some creative direction and good or bad, an interesting cast, but it's slight.
