Really Wanted To Like This One...

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2015)

As the title suggests, I was really hoping for so much more. But it became apparent about thirty minutes in (the dreaded thirty minute crossroads) that this was not going to be a memorable movie, just another tossed on the pile of "ugh".
I love science fiction - and I love science fiction movies that have great scripts and most importantly take me to places I haven't been before (e.g. "Contact"). AI is a good topic, but I'm still waiting for Hollywood to create a movie that does it justice. Sadly this movie seems to meander at times, slowly without any serious direction resulting in a loss of interest. In addition, the movie's focus is on the characters and not so much the science fiction element itself. This would not be horrible if you enjoyed, or found engaging, any of the characters - but for me that didn't happen. I found them to be either cliché or stale.
The special effects were good, but minimal. The ending was anti-climatic. I think this could have been an interesting film with the right script. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.
