Minor Premise (2020)

I do like a good low budget sci-fi, and there's been some top drawer ones in the last few years. Primer (2004) was probably the film that got me interested in the sub-genre, and more recently The Invitation (2015) and my personal favourite, Coherence (2013). What Minor Premise resembles most however, is Archive, also from 2020. Whilst Archive may have been a knock off Moon (2009), Gavin Rothery's low key sci-fi shows what Minor Premise could have done with its promising set up. Although Minor Premise's premise (whey) is interesting (a neuroscientist becomes entangled in an experiment, pitting 10 fragments of his consciousness against each other) and it's well acted, it falls foul of poor execution, and a pay off you can see coming a mile off. It's worth a watch for the ideas, but there are better options out there and Minor Premise ends up being largely forgettable. 5.6/10
