So Begins the History of Gods

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2015)

8.5 of 10. Whereas it's AI sci-fi competitor Chappie (2015) is designed more for action/Robocop/Blade Runner fans, this is for hard science fiction fans along with those that enjoy a more intellectual drama/thriller. It's the first film I remember mentioning wetware (although, technically, it seemed to achieve the wetware results minus any actual wetware).
It still addresses the whether robots are dreaming of electric sheep, but also far more and returning to the sexy and empathetic human aspect of it that Blade Runner did so well.
Contrary to most of the past and present cyberpunk out there, this isn't a dystopian future world. This is the near future, maybe even this very moment with the joys of wealth and the relaxation of only private concerns with a still functional planet. And rather than some power hungry old men behind the scenes, we have a young tech billionaire up front and eager to engage and adding an element to the story that explores the non-nerd weirdness of the AI creators.
The last burst of high quality robot/AI sci-fi we had was 2008-2009. We should consider this a wonderful, probably temporary, period of cyberpunk film that will be looked upon and treasured. Other recent films with a similar story theme: Automata (2014), Robocop (2014), Machine (2014), Robot and Frank (2012), and Transcendence (2014).
