Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2014)

To be honest, I wasn't expecting such a good movie. I enjoyed every moment and aspect of this movie, with a single exception that (I personally didn't feel well paced) I won't mention so I don't spoil it for you. Is a very sensitive movie, with excellent writing and acting from Mr. Phoenix. I don't find myself very often thinking about lines that the characters said, and I was gladly doing this several times with this film. And excellent photography and sound editing and soundtrack that really gives a lot of climax in many of the emotive scenes. At one point, Johanssons voice (wich is not the kind of voice I personally like a lot) can seem a miscast, but when I gave it a thought, I felt the director wanted an imperfect voice to make the character less typical as a computer and more human. The story idea of giving the capability to something to learn by itself and evolve as a living being would do, but with other parameters and capacities is very interesting and in the movie, very well accomplished and showcased.
Regarding of general opinion about the ending, I think you don't really need to know exactly what happens with certain character/s, knowing it doesn't change the story or is just not part of the story. If you want you can just imagine or deduce whatever you want or like. Has to be enjoyed as it is, change anything would be spoiling it.
Great photography and sound, really beautiful music, good story, very good writing and acting. Really kept me interested along the 2 hours that it plays. A personal favourite.
