That was an excellent one.
Nice effects though.
Absolutely Fantastic
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Whether you like this film or not, one thing is for sure - you won't be quite the same after watching it. Artistically superb and musical score is spot on. Not going to go into the plot (just watch the film), but this movie really resonates as an unexaggerated glimpse of the not so far off future of AI. Excellent casting, awesome soundtrack, great acting, compelling story all make for a film worthy of your time. No oscars here, of course, but you won't regret watching this it.
When you write a script that wants to tell a story about the feelings an A.I. can have, you definitely don't want to put misconceptions and clichés in it. Unfortunately, that's exactly the case in this movie. As a Sci-Fi movie, I was hoping the movie would display a thought-provoking future, but it only shows us the same world as we live in, but with robots and dating systems that never would work when you start to think about it even a little bit. I don't get why others compare it to "Her" or "Ex Machina", those movies both give a lot more depth in what A.I. is, how it works, and where some problems lie. Oh, and those movies have an exciting plot, this movie just shows us the same kind of scenes over and over again. I feel that the whole story could have been told in just a few scenes. The editing was not too good either, on a technical level the movie is very 'eh' to me. The colored shots didn't really stand out to me, either.Now on the plus side, the actors are great, but in this movie they're just wasting talent. This movie is also really good in capturing love scenes, which is probably the purpose this film is made for. It's like a 1.5 hour romantic film just for the romance, but they threw some robots in.After all, I don't hate the movie itself, and it truly wasn't a torment to watch, but the story is just filled with nothing and it represents a misleading and plain view on A.I.
First off the movie is long and slow but it's gorgeous and thoughtful and posits a number of ideas related to AI and human/machine relationships once we've figured out how to surpass the uncanny valley and create unmistakably human like androids. How will they feel? Will they love, can we love them? What is love anyway? Both Ewan Macgregor and Lea Seydoux are stellar as they explore love, jealousy and loss between human and sentient machine. If you're patient and thoughtful, a very rewarding film.
This is my first review. I just had to say how poor the editing was. The sound goes from a whisper that needs the volume turned up to hear and right to a loud honking horn or screaming that cold be close to blowing your speakers out. That is just in the first half hour. Sound needed to be adjusted a dozen times.It could have been a good movie. I rarely give up once I start watching a movie but this is just unwatchable.
