Back to the movie. Are there few movies about this kind of artificial intelligence? From the original "The Matrix" to "I, Robot" and the most recent "Transcendent Hacker" and so on, the description of AI in these movies has risen to a very high level. It’s like aliens describing human beings. When aliens describe that after tens of thousands of years of human development, technological civilization can start interstellar wars, then at this time, there are aliens to describe how humans evolved. Will it look good? Suddenly downgrading from a science fiction film to a documentary film will obviously dampen audience interest. The documentary will be watched, but it will never be the person who came to this movie.
The director is a bit too self-righteous. If the first half were not for the picturesque scenes to attract the audience, there would be no bright spots. And that billionaire boss, Nathan, with a muscular body and a stubborn face. Later he actually wears a pair of glasses. Please, why do you look for such a person? If there is a fight later, I am understandable. Later, he was killed with two knives. Do you want to slap him every day and practice his muscles? Do you want to promote him? I couldn't help but think that there must be someone behind him. You said that if you have money, you can invite Morgan to resemble it. It's really impossible. Just go to the middle-level of a technology company and find someone who is more like him. Here is a warning to the director, why Chinese movies are not good, the big reason is that the actors are not like four, look randomly, as long as they are famous, regardless of whether his appearance fits the role, anyway, as long as he is famous.
Later, the plot began to become compact, but it seemed even more hollow. It is at this time that the audience understands why billionaires like to drink from the beginning of the movie, it turned out to be the foundation for the programmer's subordinates to explore the secrets behind.
Most of the plot in the movie is the dialogue between the boss and his own employees. It's not that this kind of dialogue is not good-looking, "This Man Comes From Earth" is wonderful, but it's impossible for you to rely on this kind of empty theoretical dialogue to support half of the film. You try to confuse the audience, but the audience is confused from the beginning to the end. In this way, your confusion has no meaning. After all, most viewers’ understanding of AI is still in the preliminary stage, or the final stage, where they will eventually destroy humanity. May I ask a person who is accustomed to eating good food, would he still be interested in simple stir-fried fried rice? So, the director thinks he is right. If this movie is presented in the form of words, it should look great. Because people's reading speed is relatively slow, they can also appreciate the meaning of this in detail. But sci-fi movies are not documentaries, sci-fi movies are more like chicken feet with pickled peppers. They are so spicy that they are so spicy that their taste buds will explode.
The final shot is intriguing. I think the director may have decided to shoot after seeing this ending. I won't say the ending, so as not to be spoiled. What I want to say is that with one ending, you can't afford the whole movie.
