Bicentennial Man 2 this is not

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2016)

The directorial debut of talented writer Alex Garland contains obvious moral lessons about mankind's ever-growing dependence on technology - but it is presented in a way that is balanced, light-handed and not at all preachy.
Instead, Alicia Vikander's beautifully realised cybernetic character is used as a tool to flesh out the inner workings of the two humans, tactfully played by Gleeson and Isaac.
Bicentennial Man 2 this is not, as Garland offers a much darker insight into the human condition and our relationship with technology, nature and each other.
