an original take on the future

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2015)

I thought this movie was good with a different outlook on the future of dating. Theodore is recently divorced and buys an OS to be a companion, someone to talk to. He can choose the OS to be male or female, so chooses female, and she gives herself the name, Samantha. Theo wears an earpiece and has a little camera he can put in the pocket of his shirt, and that is how he communicates with Samantha. They talk about everything, and being the lonely person he is, Theo falls for the computer. And the weird thing is, this seems to be fairly common. When he tells his friends, they aren't completely shocked and get the fact that he is dating a computer.
Well, this romance is "weird", like Samantha hiring a girl to be her pretend "body". But it seems all the OSs are growing and soon they sort of form their own group and Samantha is becoming more independent and before long wants her space. And Theo is devastated to learn Samantha is in love with others, like over 600. And in the end, does what he should have done in the beginning, which is hang out with a real girl.
FINAL VERDICT: Interesting take on the future. I recommend it.
