a good addition to the A.I genre, but with some issues

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2015)

Like the title suggests and the rating of 6/10. This is a decent movie about humans trying to become gods. And for most part of the film, the story is solid and holds up.
Acting is very good. Especially from A.I prospective and all of them. You can see the very nature of robot hiding behind human faces and its programmed emotions. Great job on that part. Big Thumbs up for Alicia Vikander, she had me convinced that she wasn't human.
CGI was great. They did a fantastic job of bringing very likable and realistic type of robot body to life.
Story: like i said earlier for most part this was a great and solid story, even enjoyed the twisting of one's own reality to think that instead of testing the A.I that all of this was a test to see if the A.I understands that its an A.I. The whole chess conversation was brilliant. Does a chess computer know that its playing chess? However after the Big Reveal the movies story takes a dive. We learn that its not a pure A.I. but rather a program that has to use a certain function to try and escape. So he was the maze and she was the rat. So everything she did ad she thought that she felt was all because of Nathans programmed problem inside her (Escape) and although she succeeded i getting out, she failed in thinking freely. She didn't feel anything about what she did with either Nathan and Caleb (They both end the same way). She not only FAILED her Turing test, but was never actually a form of an A.I. Lastly and this is major problem for me. The whole planned relied on when there is power shut down, the protocols are reversed. However at the end when we have that shut down the protocols which were changed, some how went back to their original form.
Overall this is an enjoyable film with some really interesting ideas and concepts.
