Cutting the mortal thread

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 1999)

This film poses the powerful question: will an artificial intelligence, once it has reached a certain level, then demand that there is an after-life for itself? -Its electronic emotions straining to come to terms with the thought of the nothingness that is death. Whether we ourselves as humans have a life after death, is open to debate; but the message is clear. We are all carbo-electrical beings facing this same dilemma and convincing ourselves that 'there must be something else.'- a necessary crutch to support the fear that rises when we face this ultimate question. A superb film. 8/10
