The characters at first seem photorealistic, but their faces barely move. There are good, basic sci-fi ideas in the script, but they're not satisfyingly developed.

In the near future, oil reserves are nearly depleted and Europe is connected by series of underground tunnels. While navigating these tunnels, Roger hears voices, one in particular.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Technically innovative but narratively moribund, Metropia is all stasis and shadows. Perhaps Mr. Saleh could have listened to a lighter voice.
Dark and queer enough to catch your attention but lacking the story power to hold it, Metropia is an aesthetic in search of an author.
