Not as deep as I had hoped.

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2018)

Maybe my expectations of what kind of movie this was going to be were wrong, or maybe I am spoiled by having read too many William Gibson novels, but I really thought this movie was lacking. I was expecting intelligent conversations about A.I., but every time the movie started to veer deliciously close in that direction, it would get stopped short or interrupted.
This is not a movie about A.I. This is a movie about God, creation, evolution, and what it means to enjoy life.
But! The good parts of the film are:
* Oscar's performance as the recluse billionaire tech-savant was spot on. His character was truly fully formed and developed, to the point where, by the end of the film, you could predict his behaviors. That's good acting. The funny thing is, I didn't even recognize him for the first half of the film. I kept thinking to myself, "I know that voice, but I don't recognize the face."
* This movie hits the horror and drama points pretty well, and as someone who has read both "Frankenstein" and "Dr. Jekyll", this movie could be considered to be a great-grandchild of those two pieces of fiction.
