This movie carried the tagline "stylish sci-fi thriller" and I'm here to tell you it ain't.
Let me first mention that throughout the movie there's gratuitous nudity and scenes of sex. I'm a man who appreciates a nice pair of boobs as much as anyone but it wont make up for the lack of substance. Clive has sex with a high class hooker, we see the sex scene again as the hacker tries to remove that memory from the "ether", then he bangs the hacker as well. It's quite laughable really but I expect men who are of low intelligence and fancy themselves as a bit of a ladies man might be sucked in.
The movie itself, in terms of its sci-fi merit, is a miss. It's a detective solving a crime in a future where everything is the same except for something called the "ether". The "ether" is basically a data collection of everything your eyes have ever looked at your view can be live streamed. The hacker protagonist in this movie can manipulate that data and therefore is a person of interest. There's a twist at the end but it's underwhelming to say the least.
I'm a huge fan of the sci-Fi genre. Scanner Darkly, Oblivion, Minority Report, Blade Runner, Total Recall, Aliens, Terminator, you name it I'm in to it. This however is a very tame and uninspiring movie that brings no new concepts to the table and there's very little effort made in terms of the CGI or acting. A truly forgettable experience.

The Reviews for Anon (2018) 1080p
A very poor movie indeed.Reviewed byChronicCinephiliaVote: 4/10
Worth a watch if you are really bored and there is nothing else to watch.
The film is really slow, a lot of people just staring at walls and sitting on chairs while they look at video logs in their heads. A very cheap rip-off of Black Mirror.
There is no action, not even running. i think people in this film are sitting 80% of the time and all scenes are usually just people around a table :)
No impressed at all.
For anyone who has seen Gattaca, you will probably know what to expect from Anon - an original take on the future, but one that is also grounded in topical issues, in this instance issues around data privacy.
Has many similar themes and echoes of Minority reports, although the direction is quite considered. This really helps to build the sense of a dystopian world that is reminiscent of Orwell's 1984, but as a result it doesn't have the pace of Spielberg's movie.
Not Niccol's best, but it's very watchable and has some really interesting ideas that will stay with you after the movie has finished
Ignore some of the other reviews on here. Ridiculous to judge a movie on the basis someone is smoking indoors.
