Her Review

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2016)

"Her" is a futuristic cinema that's presents a very possible scenario for our future with Artificial Intelligence. The movie follows the story of Theodore, a middle aged writer going through a lonely divorce. Things start to pick up when Theodore purchases the newest version of AI, a system called OS. This new system has its own consciousness and with it, the ability to grow and become more intelligent. Theodore is immediately captivated by the system that names herself Samantha, and soon enough their relationship turns into love. We learn that in their society more and more people are forming relationships with their OSs, however, Theodore still has his doubts. Eventually Samantha finds love with hundreds of other systems and eventually moves on. In the end, they realize their love was real and that's all that mattered. We view the relationship between Theodore and his computer as strange and rather taboo, however, in a world with ever advancing technology we are actually not far off from this. People have already to began to have relationships through the internet. If you're interested in sci-fi, this is absolutely a film for you. And even if you are not, its is still interesting enough to endure. Overall, I thought the film was interesting food for thought.
