How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visually stunning descent into existential dread where giant robots pilot teenage soldiers against unknowable threats, balanced between explosive action sequences and moments of suffocating psychological pressure. The film treats its apocalyptic scenario with both spectacle and genuine emotional fragility.
