The oddly titled Previously Saved Version offers little to inspire the viewer. Starting off slowly and eventually going down the by now tediously predictable woke path, this film, in my opinion, skirts the line between entertainment and DEI indoctrination. Perhaps the productions only real saving grace is excellent CGI and a intriguing vision of the future with the wealthy living off planet, on luxurious space stations. Acting is alright too but the whole tone of this thing doesn't, I believe, provide enough room for inspired performances. In summary, predictable, tedious and uninspiring, Previously Saved Version is indeed, just that. In this reviewers opinion its yet more cookie cutter woke, social engineering, with a dash of what might pass for entertainment. A hard pass from me.
