Don't listen to the negative reviews

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

It's a ripping good tale, but my god it starts too slow. The exposition is clumsy. It has a typical British TV series look and feel to it. However it's worth sticking with. Once the AI is achieved the film takes on it's own flavour and direction. From then on it captures the viewer. The problem up to that point, it looks and feels slow dark ponderous. There is an issue with the machines that don't speak. We hear them speaking all the time, in the presence of humans and it's not clear the humans don't know they don't don't speak. It seems the makers didn't really want to deal with exposing the setup and jumped through pieces that could have made for an engaging opening 20 mins. I stuck with it, because I had read some reviews, but paused it to give myself a rest. It's a good movie with a clumsy start. Great middle and not a bad end. It's certainly better than a lot of stuff out there these days.

I'm reading a lot of reviews on here on how great this movie was. Well I guess we don't have the same definition of "great" because I just thought it was an average movie. The idea of the story was not bad, even though we've all seen it before, but in general it was poorly executed. It didn't look very professional to me. The acting was just above average with no characters that will blow you away with their acting performances. What bothered me the most in this movie was the soundtrack. It didn't bring any suspense or punch, instead it was very monotone and made me want to fall asleep. A good movie needs a good soundtrack and in this case it was clearly one of the weakest points. For a sci-fi movie you would expect a bit of special effects to give it something special but even there you will be left disappointed. So in conclusion, the idea was not bad but we all seen better in the same genre.

Maybe the films about artificial intelligence that were made in the last 5 years might outnumber to those were made before that for centuries. Especially there are lots of B movies on this theme and some of them surpassed the film critics and the film fanatics' expectations. Here is another one, but this is a British film. Though one thing I don't understand is, in all these films they make the same mistakes. I mean the film characters recognising the AI as one of us which leads to a major disaster.Sets in the future, when the Chinese aggression towards the Taiwan made the west, especially Britain to counteract them in the region, they decide to build a most advanced AI. But when the scientist creates beyond what the military needed, the conflict of interest surface among them. From this, who gains what, and how the story ends comes in the latter part.Initially I liked it, but not the progression. It led nowhere, but the same crumble and a conflict between the man and the machine. I'm not saying the film was bad, but I blame the overcrowded films on this theme. The filmmakers have to start to think a different kind of storyline. Going advance like what AIs can do in the field than the initiation programmes which is too old for now and onwards. So that's where I disliked it, but not hated it. I hope you enjoyed it better than me or would do if you yet to try.5/10

Fantastic Look and the Score is Effective, Minimalist and Silky. This is a Creepy, sometimes Frightening Film filled with War-Battered, Brain-Damaged Robots and few Humans. The Low-Budget takes a Back Seat to the Imaginative Scenery and the Mood is all Melancholy. There is barely a Light in Sight and the Literal Darkness of the Scenes does Enhance the Gloomy Appeal of the Story.Caity Lotz in a Dual Role is Stunning and Toby Stevens as the Scientist in Despair is OK. The Story may be Nothing New and the Ending will Not Surprise Sci-Fi Geeks. But Viewers will most likely remember the Feel of the Film and it is Unique in that respect. Overall, Above Average B-Movie with its Sci-Fi Roots Showing most of the Time, although Not in the Foreground. It's an A.I. Trek that is a Welcome Inclusion in the Sub-Genre. Low-Budget Movies should all Look this Good and They Can with Fertile Imaginations.
