Succeeds in spite of poor writing, pacing and acting

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2015)

Despite its many problems, this movie packs a hellacious punch.
YOU CANNOT, ANY LONGER, THINK OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS SOMETHING THAT WILL COME ALONG LONG AFTER YOU'RE DEAD. IT'S HERE NOW. TO IGNORE IT COULD MEAN BIG TROUBLE FOR HUMANS.
Were it not for the importance of building the A.I. discussion in the public's consciousness, I"d rate this movie a 2, because it's poorly written and paced, with 66% bad acting by the 2 male characters.
Eva, played by Alicia Vikander, was near perfect.
Cinematography is, at times, stunning, but it has NOTHING to do with the story. If anything, it makes me jealous that I don't have an estate so large that it takes 2 hours to fly to the center of it.
