In 2039 it is illegal to live off of the grid. I am not sure what happened to the Amish and the First Amendment. There is a group in District 19 that live off the grid and can hack into systems and raise havoc for those in power. Hardin Jones (Jamie Draven) is in prison and is being watched as a reality TV celebrity and he does not know it. While being transferred to New Town, a sort of half way town, a Seahaven Island for Truman, he is broken out by parkour anarchists.
The characters were not great. The dialogue was dry. I imagine there was some "1984" message in all of this, or maybe celebrity consumerism. Frankly I would rather be part of the consumer grid as the alternative didn't look like utopia to me.

Disjointed rubbish. V disappointed
OMG DID YOU SEE THEM USING A 2010 MACBOOK IN 2039!!! Was poised to receive a great action / sci fi film but no.. every scene blends into the next without the previous one being explained. It's incredible slow. Incredibly irritating for the previous scene not to be explained. The people who cut the trailer together owe me money as was led to believe this was a fast paced slick futuristic flick.
Repetition and monotony
Entirely too many scenes of the actors just staring into the distance apparanty to fill the time lost from lack of content. Repetitive scenes of people just walking. The idea behind the movie was solid, but the direction was terribly lacking. Hopefully a more skilled director will take the idea and present us with a version that won't make me demand that the money I spent on the rental be returned. I gave the movie a three rating because there was obviously some effort involved. Don't judge a movie by it's trailer.
