Millenium Zero

About This Movie

Millennium Zero is one of those dystopian flicks that really leans into its bleak atmosphere. Set in a near-future where women are extinct, it’s got this heavy tone that permeates every scene. The pacing is deliberate, pulling you into the slowly unraveling mystery of the murder at a vaccine research facility. Kiriyama’s journey through this desolate world feels hauntingly real, and the performances reflect a palpable desperation. The practical effects, particularly in the horror elements, are impressive for the time, adding a gritty realism that’s often missing in modern sci-fi. It’s a unique take on humanity on the brink, exploring themes of survival and loss in a way that sticks with you, for better or worse.
