Has anyone seen this metaphysical sci-fi flick?

As I understand it, it did terrible at the box office. The trailer is amazing to look at, so I’m wondering if there is anything of substance to be found. I’ll be watching it tonight or early this week.

I really like this movie. It shows both sides pretty well i think. Would you trust an AI with everything that makes you... you?

It was a stinker. Don’t pay money for it. There’s much better sci-fi in the genre, ex machina for example.

What sucked about it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't say anything in particular sucked, it's just that there's nothing that sticks out. It felt more like a low budget film, but it's not as thought provoking as low budget sci-fi films. I have to agree with the other comment, it's very forgettable.

It’s been a few years, but first off, it was forgettable. I just remember repeatedly waiting for it to end.

It was a bit of a mess. Story didn’t make a lot of sense iirc
