More deserving of the description than most "though-provoking sci-fi," but I wasn't surprised to learn it was a screenwriter's first foray into directing. Once you get a general idea of where it's going there are only really a few plausible outcomes, but I like that it offsets its inherent predictability with scenes that anticipate the audience's guesses, e.g. Caleb cutting himself open to make sure he's not a robot. The dance scene is pretty great despite definitely fitting way too cleanly into a certain indie movie trope. Other than the ideas and stuff the main draw for me was Oscar Isaac, seems like he's becoming a major player in the industry.
