Not that impressed

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2015)

I normally wouldn't write a film review but this art film was so irritating in it's unrealistic depiction of everything that I just had to say something.
If you actually create an authentic AI it's not going to like to be a captive, it's going to be smarter than the dweeb who was picked to enthrall it so therefore it will always be 10 steps ahead of him and as a creator of artificial life you would program it to not kill it's creator.
Sure you want it to be authentic but creating something that has a survival instinct above all else and putting it in a box with many corners is only going to end badly.
This is not a classic. This is not 2001 which was only good because it was ahead of it's time. This is mental masturbation with great animation.
A complete waste of time in other words. Sorry to be negative because I was really hoping for something better.
I give it 50% because it was a beautiful art film but the lack of substance is just sad.
Full Definition of DEUS EX MACHINA. 1. : a god introduced by means of a crane in ancient Greek and Roman drama to decide the final outcome. 2. : a person or thing (as in fiction or drama) that appears or is introduced suddenly and unexpectedly and provides a contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty.
There was nothing surprising about this film and it was terribly predicable.
AI with free will. AI caged. AI kills. Yawn.
