3/5

This is a well-made, thought-provoking movie set in the near future. It’s the sort of science fiction that feels closer to science than fiction.

4/10

Despite its intriguing premise about ageism and buying 'time,' Boris Kunz's dystopian thriller soon becomes formulaic and forgettable.

4/5

This is an entertaining and thoughtful dystopian sci-fi about aging and the vast chasm between the very rich and the very poor.

B-

In its more serious moments warns us how revolting things can get when the people of science greedily sell their souls for capitalistic gain.

As far as Netflix originals go, Paradise is quite a gem. It’s got a great cast, a compelling story, and neat-looking CGI effects.

Idea of the story maybe different but we have already seen these kind of movies several times. A template based movie. Predictable scenes.

This movie was awesome! It presented one of the most terrifying concepts I've ever seen in a movie, and the story was gripping and intense. I definitely recommend it for sci-fi fans!

Watches the first 3 episodes and just gave up. The villains were almost pantomime, as were the heroes. It was disjointed and bitty. Not my bad at all

This movie had a number of surprises. The characters evolve in response to the changing situation in believable ways that aren't always comforting. An interesting watch.

Great concept with a promising start and intriguing storyline that gets a little lost and doesn’t quite hit the mark
