TAU – I have a name, I am a person

It wasn’t until I saw who was in TAU that I gave it a closer look. With Gary Oldman and Ed Skrein it was bound to be something good. Currently available on Netflix (It’s a Netflix Original) and having raised very little fuss that I’ve seen, I didn’t give it much of a glance. But one of my friends recommended it to me and I thought I’d give it a look see.

TAU | Sci-Fi Movie

TAU Movie Review Conclusion

I would watch it again – TAU is an unusual film, and although it’s quite slow paced it is intriguing. It’s set pretty much entirely in one location. The more you watch the more engrossed you get. There are times when the main character, Julia, does exactly the thing you’re always thinking the characters should do in movies and then it goes bad anyway.  A Sci-Fi and a Thriller there is only one mild gory moment, a few exciting moments and a lot of romantic getting to know you A.I./ Human scenes. It’s a laid on the sofa when you’re feeling a bit ill kinda movie.
