A good portrayal of artificial intelligence

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2014)

This movie seems to be a rare breed. It manages to portray artificial intelligence designed to simulated a human in a realistic manner while not making it stand out outside its boundaries. It managed to fit the sentient OS into environment where it felt natural and allowed for multitude of reactions from the cast that seems to cover a range of reactions to this new concept. The broad perspective of script writers really shine in the emotional field of dealing with Operating System becoming partner for lonely people. This of course would be all for naught if it weren't for the brilliant acting of the cast. Joaquin Phoenix was brilliant in his role but the supporting cast also seems to have done a good job.
The focus on relationships and emotions may sway from the regular AI plot and some viewers may be disappointed, but i for one really like to see new perspectives on old plot devices, especially when they are done as well as they are here.
the implications of such AI development as it approaches singularity is treated so gently and yet so powerfully it makes you wonder if the writer wasn't one of these writing geniuses themselves. u was truly amazed how they handled it and have never seen it done so well in any other movie previously.
This is a great movie. it sucks you in at the very beginning and does not let you go. Its a ride few movies manage to achieve.
