Good but slow

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2014)

Interesting romantic sci-fi, with good humour. Not a comedy.
I enjoyed the pace because the technology kept revealing new possibilities, putting a different slant on the usual way a couple gets on in a relationship.
After about 40 mins the emphasis is on the romance, so it slows down quite a bit, then picks up again when the tech side is brought back and the operating systems reach the singularity.
The ending is a bit flat for my taste - I was hoping the singularity would lead to some conflict. Overall I thought the movie was stretched out a little too long.
Of course the OS's voice drew a lot of praise, and the actress is very endearing as a lover. At one point, when they go on a double date, I think there was an unintended Man-With-Two-Brains feel to the relationship. Plus I wondered about the male lead's voice - sounded sometimes like he had a speech defect.
Very good, but a bit sentimental and slow for me.
