Perhaps it would have worked better as a TV show. Because there's no escaping the wasted potential in LX 2048, where the confidence is evident in its themes, but not in its convoluted execution.

LX 2048 is much more than its (neverless brilliant) concept -- it's a deep dive into what it means to be human.

So predictable and formulaic that it should appeal only to dystopian sci-fi enthusiasts.

It is partially saved by some amazing key moments and twist. Ultimately, though, it's just too long and way too interested in its own cleverness.

Director Guy Moshe's foray into futuristic sci-fi with LX 2048 brings together several sci-fi themes to create an apocalyptic world not much different than our own.

Guy Moshe's dystopic science-fiction movie LX 2048 feels particularly timely and on-point, essentially channeling the nightly climate-change news (floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and so forth) into a wry, fantastical form.

Provocative in the issues it floats, but D'Arcy's Bird is no Joseph K.; he's more of a blustering Karen.

While some sci fi fans might see the value and allure here, not many others will. The lack of humanity and real relationships will turn most away.

Unfortunately, LX 2048 is so concerned with trying to dazzle the audience with sci-fi concepts that the people in the movie are as emotionally hollow as the human clones.

Feels more like an overdrawn and uninspired episode of Black Mirror rather than a groundbreaking feature affair.

LX 2048 isn't without its unkempt qualities, yet Guy Mosche's film thankfully values substantive ruminations over superficial thrills.

I enjoyed it, but man -- there's a lot going on, and maybe too much.

"LX 2048" is a thoughtful, disturbing look at a possible future which deserves to be noticed.

Instead of guiding us through a story that features thought-provoking ideas, LX 2048 wants to sit us down and talk them into our heads.

Filled with familiar science fiction tropes, the movie decides to go with an interesting family drama to make it stick out. Aside from some uneven dialogue, it works.

The latest cinematic example of a hopelessly depressing future, this muddled dystopian drama can't capitalize on an intriguing concept.

While the plot of "LX 2048" eerily evokes our current condition under COVID-19, the film... does not work because of murky plotting, wavering accents and the thread of misogyny that runs through the depiction of Reena...
