Humanity or Machinery

Why must humanity always result to violence as the only means to settle their differences. You see robots naively thinking that the distance between humanity and machines is violence. /YES I agree there is violence but more within us....

As the title says, these two words will inevitably conflict even in the context of the near future. This film assumes that TIMA has unlimited energy and potential rationality (derived from fuel cell & memory wipe out). In fact, it is similar to the artificial intelligence with unlimited computing power and cognitive ability in other SCI-FI movies. But it is incomprehensible why his father wanted to create a robot (AI) to take over the world before TIMA. Because of your own limitations? Do people's emotions and desires magnify their own flaws?

Referring to similar literary works, it seems that the praise of human nature is better than the precision of machines. The eg GIS series advocates the soul and body of the hybrid; the first half of the aliens series discusses the betrayal and awakening of AI and so on.

    The graphics and music are excellent, the plot and characters are too bad
