Blu-ray Review – 2073

Director Asif Kapadia is a documentarian, scoring some critical and commercial successes with 2010's "Senna" and 2015's "Amy." In 2024, he helmed "Federer: Twelve Final Days," examining the last stand for a popular professional tennis player. And now Kapadia is taking on the end of Earth in "2073," which merges worlds of fiction and non-fiction to best examine the downfall of humanity as matters grow increasingly grim for the planet and its inhabitants. The future's not bright in the picture, as it follows a woman and her experiences 50 years from now, attempting to find thinking and information in a land controlled by machines and the rich. "2073" isn't an easy sit, and perhaps it doesn't make for a complete film, but the ideas contained within it are valuable. Kapadia provides a warning about power and influence, presenting stories of oppression and destruction to help viewers grasp the dire situation we're in right now, making a few severe points worth understanding.
