Never trust a film critic.
Having said that, it would be interesting to see what Mark Kermode says about the film.

I'm sure Kermode will review it soon

You know the reviewer is a pretentious hack when you read:

For me this is a passion project without passion: a bloated, boring and bafflingly shallow film, full of high-school-valedictorian verities about humanity’s future. It’s simultaneously hyperactive and lifeless, lumbered with some terrible acting and uninteresting, inexpensive-looking VFX work which achieves neither the texture of analogue reality nor a fully radical, digital reinvention of existence.

Why and how is that pretentious? It paints a pretty good picture of what this movie is like: visually stimulating but with no substance.
