fantasy, science fiction, ,

Directed by Drake Doremus, Zoe follows a couple who find love in a science-fiction subterfuge. Zoe, played by  Lea Seydoux, is part of an experimental project. The project is revolutionary as a research lab design technology to improve and perfect romantic relationships. Two colleges, Zoe and Cole, played by Ewan McGregor, are part of the experiment. As the work progresses, their discoveries become more profound.

The story appears to be about true love and not fooling with Mother Nature. Let love be as it should be, a natural process. Sure, people fall in love and out of love. Society must let people discover who their true love or soul mate is.

Still, the movie looks interesting as long as it is not slow. A movie like this needs to move fast and get to the point. The movie is available on Amazon Prime. If you are a subscriber, it doesn’t hurt to check it out.

Richard Greenberg wrote the screenplay, and his other movies include The Beauty Inside and Desert Saints. Greenberg is also known for being an assistant director.

Doremus seems to like love stories. His other credits include Breathe In, Equals, and Like Crazy.

The Amazon trailer is not much different from the other trailer. But it is here for your viewing, and you can compare them if you like.

The movie trailer clearly shows the story, so you can decide if you are interested in seeing it. If you are an Amazon Prime member, it will eventually arrive at the mega site.

Directed by Danny Boyle about 20 years ago, Trainspotting was a cult sensation that launched Ewan McGregor’s career and Boyle’s. Boyle won an Oscar for directing Slumdog Millionaire.

Now, Boyle and McGregor have teamed up again with the sequel to Trainspotting. What you get to see is first there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal. Twenty years have passed. Much has changed, but just as much remains the same. One thing, there are social media and devices, but there are still enemies.

The movie is available on Amazon and other streaming platforms.

Other old friends are waiting too with emotions like sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine (Heroin), self-destruction and mortal danger. They are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.
