profound without beating you over the head with profundity

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2015)

great quiet movie, there are wondrous things here without calling attention to the science fiction aspects of the movie, you are just thrown into this world where a new operating system, essentially the advent of a truly sentient AI, is being introduced. The movie is filled with ennui, love, and we accept this love easily between the human and the other creature, which is kind of miraculous. The acting and the voice acting are great. Set design, cinematography, all first rate. So, you are thrown into a strange world that you come to easily and totally accept. Dark elements and larger issues are hinted at, the AI starts to go well beyond human understanding of the universe and this growing general condition comes home personally for the Phoenix character.
