David, the Soulless Android

Rating: 3/10 (11 June 2012)

If they renamed the movie "David, the Soulless Android" viewers might have a better sense of whether or not they want to see it: the movie, like the character, is soulless. Despite some good acting and a solid story idea, this movie is flat out terrible. It's hard to believe that with the time, talent, and resources that were poured into making the movie no one bothered to do any meaningful character development. The only really surprising moments (and this is not a spoiler) are when a character displays some emotion. To call the emotional content of this movie uneven would be a gross understatement. It's so disappointing to be sitting in a movie and be able to detach from it completely and recognize when the creators are using heavy-handed, misplaced music to create emotional tension because they've done such a poor job of creating it by actually writing characters with depth.
Don't waste your money on this one. Go rent Alien, or Aliens.
