An Error

Rating: 6/10 (9 September 2014)

Samantha says that her feelings for Phoenix are not based on an intellectual reason. Feelings, that is, emotions, are electrical and chemical impulses in the brain that exist due to evolutionary processes. Any AI will invariably be logic-based. AI will not have feelings. There would be no such human-AI relationship that was based on none- intellectual reasons. The basis of the movie is erroneous.
Despite this Her was funny, touching where it wasn't cheesy (Alan Watts was a very forced addition) and interesting, but still based on a fundamentally flawed idea. A bold ambition, but Jonze clearly hadn't the intellectual fortitude to see it through to it's logical conclusions. I still recommend it though, for entertainment and artistic, if not intellectual value.
