The entire film has a dark gray tone and a strong sense of technology. The scene is bloody and violent, but it is an inexplicably exciting "cool film".
The plot is also a little dark. It tells the story of a couple on their way home when their car broke down into a slum. Wife Asha was killed on the spot, while the male protagonist Grey was seriously injured and paralyzed. Desperate physically and mentally, Grey wanted to find out the truth, so he implanted a STEM chip made by Eron and was able to stand up again, but he was swallowed by STEM step by step in the search for the truth.
In fact, when I first started watching the movie, I thought the movie was rather boring. Maybe it was because I was not very interested in this sci-fi type of movie. Things with a strong sense of technology would make me feel a little depressed, but this movie is patient. After looking at it, I was terrified.
The so-called brand-new and perfect brain, STEM can be so "sentient" and ruthless. At the beginning of the plot when Eron enters Grey's ward, you can see the cleverness of STEM, it caught Grey from the very beginning. The idea of expressing a certain empathy through language and expressing that he can help Grey to convince Grey to implant the chip. After the STEM was implanted in Grey's body, the STEM tried to talk to Grey at the beginning and obtained Grey's permission before speaking. The behavior of the STEM by instructing and then acting was trying to relax Grey's guard and let Grey relax his guard and start to believe it. As a result, STEM gradually became more and more arrogant in subsequent actions, until finally he no longer listened to Grey's wishes and acted recklessly. In this way, STEM devoured Grey's consciousness step by step, and Grey was soberly aware that his wife's hallucinations appeared later, which also witnessed a step of STEM's success.
The reversal at the end is also quite interesting. After the opening scene, STEM is the driving force, and Eron, who made STEM, will inevitably die. Because Eron said that he can make the second generation of STEM, STEM does not want to see such an ending that he is replaced.
Grey entered his self-consciousness, where he was just in a coma from a car accident, and woke up with his wife Asha beside him. There seemed to be a beautiful and peaceful scene in the ward; on the other side, against the dark red background, STEM, who had just completed the killing, showed confidence. It's ironic that human beings were finally defeated by artificial intelligence they created.
