- TriviaThe unique sound of the alien Vuvv language was created using dried out coconuts with nails in them, rubbed against mossy rocks.
- GoofsDuring the Homecoming Dance, after Adam and Chloe's argument, Adam angrily replaces his Node by slapping in carelessly back on his head, but it attaches too low, near the corner of his eye, rather than to his temple above the eyebrow, showing that it is an adhesive prop rather than placed in a certain location for a mental interface.

Featured review
When you mix mash potatoes and scrambled eggs and try to call it a steak.
This film is a mixed bag of genres that really didn't work when combined. The story started off with so much promising potential with the initial premise being very creative, then it devolves into a narrative that was just too convoluted, inconsistent, lacking impact, and riddled with tonal inconsistencies that will leave you scratching your head. Even the attempts at humor were more cringe than laughs.
The filmmaker's ambition surpassed his execution, that struggled to balance a social commentary, a coming-of-age romance, and a sci-fi dystopian cautionary tale. Sadly, the film ends up failing on both dramatic and comedic levels, and ultimately is underwhelming and will leave you feeling frustratingly unsatisfied, especially the ending, which felt lazy and rushed.
I will credit this film with some impressively staged sequences and set pieces with great performances by all cast members, but that wasn't enough to overshadow this film's failure to tell a compelling story. Maybe in the hands of better filmmakers, this may have been a hit, but as is, it's a miss, and a loss of 105 poorly paced minutes I'll never get back. It's a generous 6/10 for the great concept, performances, cinematography and score.
