LX 2048 is a 2020 science fiction thriller drama film written and directed by Guy Moshe and starring James D'Arcy, Anna Brewster and Delroy Lindo.

Plot

In a dystopian future, the environment is so toxic that everyone is obliged to remain shielded from the sun and live in virtual reality for interaction. Father of three, Adam Bird, a worker in tech, struggles with his family relationships and what it means to be human in such a world.

The government has instituted an insurance system for parents of three children or more where if one parent dies a clone takes their place. When Adam discovers that he has serious heart disease, he knows the news will be welcome to his ex-wife, but he must keep his company going so that their insurance policy remains valid and retain his grip on the real world.

Ed Fortune of Starburst gave the film a negative review and wrote, “It is partially saved by some amazing key moments and twist. Ultimately, though, it’s just too long and way too interested in its own cleverness.”

G. Allen Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle also gave the film a negative review and wrote, “I’m not sure how good a movie it is, but it would be an excellent basis for a streaming series, in which its ambitious ideas would have time to develop.”

John Defore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote, “While LX 2048 isn’t equally satisfying on all fronts, it’s more than successful enough to add to the where-are-we-going? syllabus.”

Cary Darling of the Houston Chronicle also gave the film a positive review and wrote, “It’s always fun when a little film comes out of nowhere that has the ability to surprise.”
