Arcadia (2016) Online

In the not too distant future, the population has risen to dangerous numbers and a deadly disease has gripped the world. To combat the death toll rising, 'Arcadia' has been built as safe disease-free haven for the privileged, where life expectancy is more than 130 years. Outside Arcadia, the average life lasts merely 40 years - unless they can earn a place amongst the elite. Charlie is 39 and living in London, with little time left he works every day to get him and his daughter into the safe haven. When asked to capture a government target, Adam Black, a member of resistance movement 'Free Care', Charlie take this opportunity to guarantee them a place inside Arcadia. On the brink of achieving his dream, his mission takes a wrong turn and he finds himself questioning the real purpose for Black's capture.

Well more an OK film and a 5 from me.

The best part of this film for me was the script and overall story. As the script and story itself was very good, certainly deserving of a far bigger budget and better design and location shooting.

I'm not going to analyze the film scene by scene as clearly there is script padding. But it's a reasonable and thought provoking realistic vision on how some may well eventually envisage the future of mankind in a way in the future when population numbers may well start to outstrip resources to feed it. Conspiracy theorists will say this will happen in the future to try and control the population.

Acting was OK, certainly a miss match of acting abilities between some of the actors (maybe reasons for that as seemed a rushed production at times). Sadly production values, well more the budget was seriously lacking with this film. And what could have been more a 7 out of 10 for me is sadly a more realistic 5.

The sound in this movie threatened to blow my TV speakers in a bad way.

The phone rang in the background for three straight minutes.

The awful bass noises and weird sounds are constant, they don't stop. There is so much annoying noise in this film, it completely destroys the suspense.

The director should be forced to wear headphones playing the noise on loop for a day. Also, their sub woofers should be smashed so they are not tempted to make this mistake again. I am unable to finish this movie because the sound will not stop and I hate it.

This is the first movie that I have ever reviewed, I feel the need to warn you, please avoid this movie and the pain it will bring your brain.

Disease has taken over the world and there are limited amount of cures. Those who are cured live to be 130 in Arcadia. Everyone else lives outside the city, living to an average age of 39. There is a lottery which allows people to gain entrance as well as a carrot on a stick program which allows others entry through a points system.

The story centers on Charlie (Marc Baylis) a guardian outside of Arcadia with a dying wife and daughter. He enters into the points system. His handler is Jacob (Akie Kotabe) who assigns him tasks. The time period jumps six years later. Charlie's wife has long passed and his latest assignment is to capture a man named Adam Black (Joseph Baker). He is part of a rebel movement called "Free Care."

The film has various themes: Medicine vs natural cures. Health care rationing where only the rich survive. And of course government conspiracy and control.

The film is high on theme and low on action. I thought Akie Kotabe did a great job with a complex character.
