Story Line;
A man, armed with a bomb, takes over a diner. He claims he is from the future and is here to correct a massive technological error that will doom humanity. He knows what he needs to do to prevent the error but needs to gather together a suitable group from the diner to help him in his mission
Thoughts:
I wasn't so such about this, it just seemed ok and I was proved very wrong. This movie was well written, well put together and very well made. I enjoyed every second of this.
You are also never confused, everything is quickly explained at just the right times
This was different, quirky and over all a great movie
CAUTION; Spoiler Alert
A
man arrives at a Norms diner in Los Angeles at 10:10 PM, announcing
that he travelled from the future to save the world and needs help
from volunteers. He believes a specific combination of diner patrons
will help him succeed but, as he does not know which combination is
correct, he resorts to try one by one. This is his 117th attempt. His
knowledge of patrons convinces some that he is telling the truth. The
man coerces Scott, Bob, Marie, and couple Mark and Janet, to join.
Susan and Ingrid volunteer, and the man initially rejects Ingrid but
changes his mind. Police surround the diner and Bob is killed, while
the rest of the group escape when Susan directs them to a tunnel.
In
flashbacks, some of the group's backstories are revealed. Mark and
Janet are teachers whose students are obsessed with their phones.
When Mark touches one of his student's phones, all the students
follow him threateningly. Mark and Janet take a pair of homemade
"jammers" made by their colleague to temporarily disable
cellphones, and escape. After Susan's son Darren was killed, she pays
for a clone of him, but she is distressed by the clone's unnatural
behavior. Susan is introduced to another service: an AI deadbot that
more closely resembles Darren, and it tells her to follow the man in
the diner. Ingrid, a girl with an allergy to electronic devices and
Wi-Fi, loses her partner Tim to a virtual reality he claimed was
better than the real world.
In the future the man comes from,
most people lose themselves in the VR, while natural resources run
out, leading to mass deaths. He was raised by his mother in a sunless
post-apocalyptic world. She was killed by a drone, which found their
bunker after he activated a VR headset. He reveals his goal: find a
nine-year-old boy and creator of the AI that will trigger a
technological singularity. Before the AI comes online, he plans to
install a security protocol contained in a USB drive to ensure AI
will act "safely".
The group are attacked by a pair
of masked men, ending with Marie and one of the men killed. The group
take refuge in the house next to their target, and the man warns that
"something" will attack them, but it is never the same
thing each time. Hundreds of teenagers on the phone surround the
house and break in. Mark and Janet use themselves as bait and
distract the teenagers. Before they get to the target house, the man,
Susan, and Ingrid are confronted by Doug, the surviving masked man
from earlier. The man manages to talk Doug down, but Doug is run over
by Scott in a stolen car. When the group enter the house, a couple
posing as the child's parents attack them. The fake father kills
Scott, before the man fatally shoots him, and the fake mother
flees.
Uncovering a secret tunnel, the man, Susan, and Ingrid
find the boy. Susan recognizes the boy as a clone, who is being
directed by his programming to create the AI singularity. As they
attempt to plug in the USB drive, several repurposed cleaning robots
and toys start attacking them. The group is restrained and the man is
stabbed in the chest. As Ingrid prepares to plug in the protocol, the
AI talks to her directly. It tells Ingrid that its creation and the
future are inevitable, the future man is her son, and that they will
have a better life if she embraces this new future. Ingrid plugs in
the protocol, forcing the AI to reboot.
The survivors,
including Mark and Janet, celebrate their success in the morning
light. Ingrid comforts the man, but the man realizes something is off
and goes back in time. Ingrid realizes that the AI gave them a fake
happy ending to keep them compliant.
The man returns to the
beginning of the night, in the diner. He sits down with Ingrid and
tells her they went about it the wrong way. He proposes a new
approach: giving everyone in the world the same allergy that Ingrid
has.
