It remains mostly neutral in its opinions. The director doesn't really put his thumb on the scale or let his own thoughts seep into the narrative too much other than a kind of overarching cloud of despair that hangs over nearly every frame. This one is for people who know next to nothing about AI. As a software engineer who closely follows the progress of the technology, there wasn't really anything for me here.

This was incredibly cheesy but also a good time. True 90's action brainrot. There is a moment about halfway in when the movie's budget gets switched on and some pretty impressive visuals ensue. It becomes clear at that point why all of the actors are in the "that guy" hall of fame. They spent all of their money on a cool looking monster and gore cannons.

No written review.

A pretty fun movie with subpar effects, but they weren't super distracting. It just looked like a M83 video up in there. There's nothing incredibly new or special about the story, but the characters were likable enough to keep me engaged.

I think I would still like this movie even without the mid-oughts MLE accents, but it just adds so much charm. I thought Jodie Whittaker's character was the weakest link, which is strange because she's a great actor, and it isn't her performance. I think this movie would just be stronger without any adults in it aside from Nick Frost.

It's cute and not a bad hang, but I have seen this same concept reskinned a few too many times at this point in my life.
