I found this to be ponderous, pretentious, painfully slow and ultimately meaningless. If you miss late night freshman college philosophical discussions, then this is for you. But otherwise, despite some beautiful settings and photography, it just isn't enjoyable or meaningful. I don't agree that the female lead, Sonia Mizuno, ruins it with her leaden acting. All of the principal characters seem stilted, artificial and self absorbed. IT Engineers have a "reputation", but they are not this wooden. I watched to the end hoping that something would happen. But it stayed the course and ultimately I just didn't care. My choice.
