Escalation, from a unique perspective, describes a drama in which artificial intelligence and humans compete for control.
It subverts the traditional self-evolution AI based on the wide-area Internet. It is not a superhuman that combines human-machine and mutation, but an AI that extends the functions of the human body itself, so it is called upgrading, upgrading from the basis of the human body itself.
Influenced by cyberpunk, the transformation of the human body is simple and rude, and the spinal nerve can be upgraded by placing an IC with thick pins. A good precision human arm has a gun built into it, loaded from the inside of the biceps. Typical Cartesian mechanistic thinking.
However, the rough special effects of the whole film cannot hide the unique perspective of the screenwriter. The use of the camera during the fight is also quite distinctive. The simple fight is shot with passion, and because of the pre-judgment, it even feels like a small idea of Wing Chun.
By extension, humans actually like animals that stay in their comfort zone. As long as it is not necessary, it is impossible for them to evolve themselves. So it makes perfect sense to be born in trouble and die in peace. It's not that they are forced to survive, I believe that most people want to live and be happy every day. The scary thing about the artificial intelligence that produced self-awareness in the film is that it can calmly design a path to become stronger, so as to be further upgraded. However, having self-awareness is not necessarily good. According to the correct intelligence advertised by human beings, if you want to truly become a human being, you also need something like emotion. A purely rational organism can be upgraded step by step, but without sensibility, it is too pale for humans. However, the body with sensibility may have an uncontrollable infinite loop and eventually self-destruct. It was nerve-wracking.
A very interesting film, the production cost is not high, but the perspective is unique, it is recommended to watch.
