Review of Hello World

Suprisingly a bad love letter to a sci-fi story, unlike what the writer wanna told you. It seemed that somewhere along the way, the writer felt stuck on what or how to write the story he wanted, but never commit to anything. Question: What drove the story? Is it romance, mystery of the world, the adversity, the story within a story, or the characters? Answer: None of them because it doesn't have any foundations or themes beside 'sci-fi' which is a crime since this genre usually provided you with a societal commentaries or humanity's preservation which also ironic since this movie had a character that preserveration nature inthe character yet it can't commit to anything.

It is a character-driven story in a simulation world, yet it never acknowledged the superficial aspect of their entire existence. Why did they never ask what and how this character within simulation have a conciousness that seemed on par with human. In return, it's hard to take the main couple seriously as they never expanded from being a simpleton with no worth to follow or even pursue by the MC Future Self. To begin with, this movie never expand on anything beside the plot yet claiming to do so.

So when the MC said why he love Sci-fi, he never answered why Sci-fi in particular. Hell, his answer could be about pro-wrestling and it still have the same impact.

There isn't any aspect of the movie worth a watch. Not the character, world-building, plot, or even the whole story.

Some praised it for its original concept, but it isn't. There is another story with a similiar title with a character-driven narrative about the world around the MC called 'Hello, Charlotte" (but it's not Sci-fi) About a girl embracing the reality of her being an extension to Real-Life people/puppeteer in many optimistic/nihilistic depends on the installment you played. A story about a story behind symbolism, satire, and many self-awareness where the world-building enhance the depth of a character.

I wanna to mention it since character-driven story in Hello, World doesn't excuse the lack of world building in here and it is a crime to me since this is supposed to be sci-fi.

The worst crime of it all is that this movie doesn't need to be sci-fi to tell the story within it.
