Crappy film
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I watched this because of John Cusack. He has been in some interesting movies. So many holes in this story. So many jr high play "what's my line" pauses. So many inconsistencies. Fight scenes made WWE look real. 2 minutes in I wondered what am I watching. I watched for another 30 min to let it develop, but then realized this is simply bad and getting worse. Could not believe it had a 4 rating. 4 says it has some promise. This a Singularity turd deserving of a single star.
This is some of the worst acting I've have seen in some time. The story line is awful. Why John C would agree to this movie, I haven't a clue. I get he is taking his cue from Nicholas Cage.
How does the main lead have perfectly new store bought clothes and a salon haircut????
There is so much bad here that I will start with the good. This is a film you watch in the off chance that you are stuck in an elevator and begin to play worst films ever. When someone brings up Singilarity, you will immediately become friends.This film is told in three parts. The opening with overcrowded Mega cities and robots seemed promising. However, there is no backstory on why wars are being waged or who is fighting whom.The middle part doesn't exactly make sense.The AI kills 8 Billion people over night. It then spends near 100 years and over an hour of story time searching for stragglers and El Dorado sorry Aurora. The AI spends considerable resources on this remnant of humanity. It's never really established why, or what all that other robo-tech used to kill the first 8 Billion is doing.The third phase is that it's revealed that Aurora is a different planet. The heroine has fallen for a Trojan Horse Adaptive Android who was created to infiltrate, find Aurora and destroy the last human city. Welp, the heroine ignores that existential conundrum and says she cannot go to Aurora without the Android. The space ship leaves. Armed with the coordinates to Aurora the John Cusick powered AI sends a fleet to purge humanity. Movie ends.That's the highlights. There is stiff acting, as well as a droning musical score that was likely created in Apple'e Garage Band software. The lighting is spotty. What suckers you into the film is the John Cusack and Carmen Argenziano billing until you realize that Cusack is just mailing it in. Cusack used to be a promising young actor. Now you pine for his sister's IS Cellular commericials. The other atttractive thing is the premise. However the execution is a complete fail.Lastly, I look forward to hearing about the amazing stories Julian Schanffner tells his Uber passengers about his brief fling in acting. He was simply the word that describes five notches below horrible.Watch the film and be inspired to write a review. It's the minimum recompense you are due for your time.
