Amanda Seyfried and Clive Owen play who’s who in a gripping tale of a dark future

‘Privacy is dead. Get over it.’ If this famous remark by a tech company boss makes you squirm, you will find the dystopian near future imagined by writer-director Andrew Niccol in this sci-fi thriller truly nightmarish.

Surveillance is total and privacy really has vanished. Walk down the street and the life records of everyone you encounter are visible on your own retina, Google Glass-style, thanks to a biosynthetic implant called The Mind’s Eye and a vast grid known as The Ether.
