"Discontinued" is a thought-provoking sci-fi film that raises intriguing questions about the nature of reality. Ashley Hutchinson delivers a strong performance as Sarah, while Langston Fishburne's portrayal of the guide adds depth to the story. However, the film's classification as a comedy is misleading, as there are very few comedic moments. Furthermore, the lack of special effects may disappoint some viewers. Nonetheless, the plot is well-constructed and keeps the audience engaged. The ambiguous ending leaves room for interpretation, leaving viewers pondering Sarah's ultimate fate. Overall, "Discontinued" is a solid film that is worth watching, despite its flaws. The film's unique concept and strong performances make it an intriguing addition to the sci-fi genre.

After trying to watch two atrocious films with aging actors who couldn't care less about the production, I stumbled onto this one with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised! Someone put a lot of thought in the script, the acting is good, the story is surprising. It should have been great.

Unfortunately, after the middle of the movie, when the main character learns the world she's been whining about is a simulation, there is where the entertainment stops completely. I understand the film is supposed to be metaphorical and, ironically, real, but at no time did I feel any connection with the main character. Maybe I would have chosen the same things as her, but then why would I want to watch someone "working through her problems" when they are all gone?

Bottom line: I have to appreciate the production and the effort that went into it, but in the end it was just as disappointing as a lot of "end of the world which makes us reevaluate our place in it" stories. An average rating which is made of equal parts greatness and disappointment.
