True... a very original plot.. carried out beautifully..
with an excellent cast.. you have acting talent..
But producing talent is also needed.. rare these days..
Never hear of talent to be a producer...
So many strong SF plots are not made..
Producers get a bad rap, but the best ones were able to recognize talent, and put talented people together to create something of quality. Today, much of that is done in the packaging stage by the agencies, who have different interests.
