The core idea of this story is too simple, it can be summed up in one sentence: the terminally ill protagonist is uploaded to a supercomputer and evolves into a super-intelligence, becoming extremely powerful. Humans kill him because of fear, but in the end he finds that he still retains human Heart. This main storyline is quite satisfactory, there is nothing novel, but it can also become a classic when it is played well.
The film does a terrible job of actually portraying the story. The first is that anti-tech terrorist group. Anti-artificial intelligence is nothing new. The threat of artificial intelligence to human society has appeared in various scientific, philosophical and literary works. There are many points of view that can be cited. However, this film only explains their motives. For example, a female researcher's sympathy for a monkey is superficial. Just because of this, you go to all kinds of murders? Human nature is really scary, and it is better for humans to take the initiative to be eliminated...
Next is the relationship between the superintelligence of the male protagonist and human beings in the second half. This section needs to create contradictions and misunderstandings, which is very important for the rational development of the plot. However, in my opinion, this is another major failure of the film. place. Contradictions do not exist at all, and the heroine's company has been benefiting mankind. It is reluctant to say that the FBI thinks that he is too powerful and is a threat to the country, but there is no evidence to prove that he has any big killer. Even if he thinks that those who have been cured become his troops, the number of people is pitiful, and there are no weapons. Far from being a clear threat. The only misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists is that they did not tell the female protagonist about the new technology he developed, which scared her a few times, which is not logical at all. The male protagonist has no motive to hide at all. They stayed there for more than two years, and many of the research plans and directions are even those of the female protagonist. Because Mao will be surprised. In addition to the fact that the male protagonist reshapes his body, he may have motives to conceal it and want to surprise her, but with his intelligence and ability, he will not be accidentally discovered by the female protagonist if he does not want to be discovered. In addition, even if she was shocked at first, wouldn't the heroine talk to her husband first? From the 200% trust when I didn’t know the upload result two years ago, it suddenly dropped to 0% for no reason. At this point, I already want to kick the screenwriter and director of this film.
After the blunt turning point is the ending. Two years later, the code of the male lead is still the old version of Beta1.0 written by the second male. I can only laugh at it. Computer viruses and biological viruses are common, huh, a common problem with bad science fiction films. All electronic components can be poisoned, huh, this has left the field of science fiction and entered the field of fairy tales. The male protagonist's nanomachines have already wandered into the global atmospheric circulation. You told me that I must send the female protagonist to connect with the male protagonist in order to infect him. Just kidding me.
It's a shame that Johnny Depp got such a bad movie. And to play AI has been sullen. However, the AI in this film is not programmed or programmed like some other works, such as HAL, but uploaded by humans, so it should have very complete emotions!
When I was bored and rewatched it recently, I found that Elon Musk was actually in an audience lens when the male protagonist was giving a speech! I didn't know him when I first watched it (laughs), since Tesla has admired him.
