TAU starts off with an interesting premise but quickly falls into predictable territory. The plot feels like a blend of familiar sci-fi tropes without much depth to set it apart. The directing is competent, keeping the pacing steady, but the script drags it down with forced dialogue and questionable logic. The AI concept could have been compelling, but the way it's handled makes it hard to take seriously, especially with how inconsistent its intelligence is. The interactions between the AI and protagonist feel more like a necessity to stretch the runtime rather than something truly engaging.
That said, the cinematography is a standout, with well-crafted lighting and a stylish color palette that gives the film a sleek, polished look. The set design is detailed and adds to the futuristic feel, making the environment visually interesting even when the story falters. The acting is decent, though the script doesn’t give much room for standout performances. The score has a few nice touches, especially when incorporating classical music, but it doesn't elevate the experience much. In the end, TAU had the ingredients for a solid sci-fi thriller but didn’t do enough with them, making it an easy watch but ultimately forgettable.
