One big yawn-fest from start to finish.

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2015)

So, here's the thing about the Turing test, which is supposed to figure so prominently in this movie, but actually nothing like it ever happens.... you aren't supposed to know whether the subject you are talking to is human or not. It is, essentially, a blind test. Typically administered through a text only conversation on a terminal. In this movie, they not only have the main character sit face to face with the android, but they employ plenty (of admittedly impressive) CGI so that you are in no doubt he is talking to a machine. That instantly invalidates the test, in my opinion, which is supposed to leave it up to the observer to decide, based on the AI's responses, if it is, in fact, an artificially generated response, or is a human.
Aside from this nonsense, the movie tries very hard to be clever but fails due to the lack of anything like pacing - it crawls along like a snail, leaving the viewer taking deep breaths and wondering when anything interesting will happen.
It is sad, really. The potential was there, but the execution was poor. There have been any number of decent AI-related films in the past few years that have done a much better job of portraying their subject matter than this one. The Machine, for example.
Here, we are treated to a shonky thriller where the motivations of all concerned are not clear. It should be interesting. It should be. But it isn't. It is a wasted opportunity. A dull two hours that I won't get back.
SUMMARY: Boring and dull. Tries to be clever and fails. Not one to sit through once, to be honest, let alone a second time.
