Not a thriller @M_7_M
Trailer completely misleading. Not the thriller it’s made out to be…at all.
Thought-Provoking Indie Sci-Fi @FilmFan655321
A small, intimate indie that asks big questions about the future of AI and finds exciting, thought-provoking, and human results. Imagine Shane Carruth making a hybrid of Ex Machina and The Social Network with the narrative structure of Steve Jobs, and you’re in the ballpark. It was rad to see Lance Henriksen play the human side opposite an android, and he’s as great as you’d expect in a small but crucial role. Tatum Matthews and Franklin Ritch are both about to blow up though, and their performances are excellent. Ritch displays confident and slick filmmaking skills, and dials in a stunning debut. I can’t wait to see what he does next. I haven’t been this ecstatic or blown away by a small scifi movie like this since maybe The Vast Of Night, and the fast-paced, dialogue-driven quality and assured direction made me think of it.
An Unexpected Gem @lhdfzg
This is a fantastic take on AI and not your typical all doom and gloom slant. A great journey told in three acts. The storytelling and performances keep you glued to your seat for the whole runtime. This film operated on an almost non-existent budget and was made out of sheer determination and passion from the team involved and it shows. Franklin Ritch is going to become a household name just like Mike Flanagan said!
