Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In the 23rd century, inhabitants of a domed city freely experience all of life's pleasures — but no one is allowed to live past 30. Citizens can try for a chance at being "renewed" in a civic ceremony on their 30th birthday. Escape is the only other option.

“Welcome to the 23rd century. The perfect world of total pleasure...there's just one catch.”

★ 7.5/10
It's a 'Future Vision' type of movie, plus a bit of an adventure into the unknown. At least for the two "Runners' who have escaped out of their bubble world. It is fraught with twists and turns in a post Peak-Oil world, where society has finally found a solution to the resources of the planet. The 'chosen' few, however have one little catch, their lives have a unique way of ending, until these two discover a new way, and a Lie that was being told to all of the citizens. (Warning for younger viewers,there are scenes where (At the time,) it was considered risque to show people jumping into a freshwater pond and going skinny dipping).
