Illustration of life forms on a hypothetical planet with a slightly lower mass than the Earth. It has shallow seas and extreme tides due to its large moon (thin crescent at left).

This one-room sci-fi thriller should take its MacGuffin more seriously

In Breathe, Earth is stripped of its oxygen, the plants are dead, oceans are dried up, no one trusts anyone 鈥� but we don't know what caused it. This sci-fi film fails to stand out among superior one-room thrillers, says Simon Ings
