Original and intriguing

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2017)

What makes this movie great is that it's (almost) a prediction of the future. Where people can fall in love with an operating system, who is funny, got a personality, can control its own "mind" and got a sexy voice. The only thing lacking is a body. With everything going on in the technology world and its fast pace towards even more advanced technology it shouldn't come as a surprise if it happens within the next decade.
With the divorce of THEODORE and CATHRINE, the perfect couple who balanced each other. Theodore needed someone to talk to during this depressing time in his life, but his human friend Amy or his other friends at the office wasn't enough. One day a new operating system comes out, the OS1 and he decides to buy it. It's basically like Siri on the Iphone, but much more advanced. They start talking and he is surprised by the improvements, how smart she is and without thinking about it starts flirting. They get into a relationship and Theodore is finally filled with life, he goes out with friends on picnic's and brings HER (Samantha) with him, and it's like the most common thing in the world, they're all talking like she is physically there. But of course the struggle is still there, they can't have intimate, real sex, only "phone sex" and I believe that's the only thing he's missing, but he is trying to persuade himself, "Phone sex is fine" because he is really in love with her. Later towards the end of the film, Samantha decides to rent a girl that can act on her behalf, lending her body to Samanthas voice and have intimate sex with Theodore. As crazy as it sounds it works for the first 5 minutes but doesn't end well, it's too confusing. Hearing Samantha in his in-ear headphones whiles the girl is going down on Theodore. He stops it but admit it was worth a try. This is where the things change, Samantha is talking to other operating systems and falls for another OS1, and I guess that was the point of no return for Samantha. She was willing to make it work lending her voice to another body, but realized it didn't work.
