Over-hyped and overrated

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2015)

Better to be viewed on Netflix than in a theater. I feel people are getting caught up in the novelty of the movie - it's minimalism and the coffee table conversations one can spin from watching the movie. It is not a deep, thought provoking movie. In fact, it is very humdrum. 2 people and some androids testing each other. The movie is very one dimensional. It depends more on dialog than any arc of a story. After a while the scenes just get repetitive. If the movie could have only widened the context or backdrop it would been more entertaining to watch. Otherwise one can just pick up a copy of Wired magazine to explore the latest in world of AI.
