Residue Audience Reviews

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
moritz-imdb-231-176485 Ends abruptly in the middle of the story buildup - do not waste your time, unless you like disappointment.
Aidener I want to start by saying that this is visually and artistically beautiful. The color palette, and the atmosphere is truly great.The plot is interesting (a random explosion in the middle of a city and a government that is clearly hiding something) and the visual effects are really good. All of the actors give good performances, and though short and slow-paced, its 3 episodes are addictive.The problem here is that the ending is way too open. It's frustrating, honestly. I think that until this gets a second series, it's not that worth watching, because in the end, you know exactly what you knew when you started the first episode.Everything here has the potential to work perfectly. It's just incomplete. I'll be glad to watch a second series, if it ever sees the light.
ricbarrett There are two rules to live life by. Number one is never tell anyone everything you know and I feel that this series does a great job in that regard so it keeps you on your seat in that way. Of course, this is sci~fi and it's sci~fi with a little bit of twist. If you're a sci~fi fan then you should enjoy this show.I have to say that it's set in London, or what looks like London but just in the future. In this regard the location scout did a great job. Thumbs up to them.Another really good thing about this series is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat with punchy dramatics and interesting narrative style.There's a girl, a citizen of the future, and she thinks she is going crazy because she has to always think about things and write things down on her PC. Maybe there might be too much by way of plot overlays, I don't think so but I can see why other people might. I have had 30 years of sci~fi experience and this series pressed almost all of the sci~fi buttons, which isn't an easy thing to do on such a low budget.Onto the budget. This really does look like a million pound show but they didn't have a budget of a million pounds. So well done to the CGI department. There we some FX that I could tell were CGI but all the rest I couldn't so they stitched them in well and the FX helped to push the plot along a lot.To conclude, I would say that sci~fi fans should give this a go. It has futurist elements which are combined well with current social issues and its social currency pays for itself in keeping with modern times. The lighting is amazing and you will really feel teleported into the future. Big thumbs up to the director for this.
flocompute I have seen this series a few times now and would whole heartedly recommend it for anyone interested in a exciting TV series with interesting characters including Jennifer (played by Game of Thrones star Natalia Tena) and helmed with style by director Alex Garcia (misfits, Utopia). It's superbly shot with great scale and is a step above recent UK TV releases. The mystery starts with a bang and the action doesn't let up from there. Amidst the chaos lie ethereal entities that could be tricks of the mind. Conflicts and corruption perforate every inch of the world and are a symptom of a society hurtling out of control. It's in this uncertainty that our protagonists are searching for the truth which could take them to the brink! I won't say any more but suffice it to say I can't wait for the 2nd season!
