snore fest

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2014)

This movie is very slow moving and has about as much action as a sloth in the afternoon. The principle of the movie is decent, but the execution is horrible and by the end of the film, if you hear Scarlet Johanssen's fake forced laugh anymore you want to hurl.
There are so many stretches in physics that would have to happen to make this movie plausible that to me, it is more of a comedy than anything else. The implication that an operating system could write and update it's own code is a farce enough, but to give it a full range of human emotions and understanding of those emotions, especially right out of the box is as believable as Kindergarteners coming up with a cure for cancer.
Phoenix does a decent job, but by the end of the movie, you kinda want him to go away or perish horribly. They would have been better off to cast Jim Carrey as Theodore.
3/10
