I've hated some movies with passion, but this...


...this comes to another level.

This has to be the dumbest, most idiotic movie i've seen (out of 1,500 aprox). This thing makes "Commando" look like a Bresson or Tarkovsky movie. Are there really people this dumb and desperate? I mean, people who need a machine to feel "loved" or love. My goodness. I just cannot believe this movie exists, in the first place.

Methinks, this movie is just exactly the opposite of what love means. It's about a bloody computer programme/machine, and some fools out there believe this truly is a romantic story?

The movie "Idiocracy" was just a real documentary of this (strange) era.

Yes, there are people so afraid or disconnected that they couldnt possibly love anything that has a mind of its own, because anything with a mind of it's own might reject or displease them.

Most such persons devote themselves to porn, but I suppose one might fall for a talking computer program.

The film’s premise is interesting but not enough to save it, ultimately, from becoming boring. Also, I don’t like Scarjo’s raspy voice, her AI character’s neediness or Theo’s sad sack nature. The movie’s pacing was also too slow for my taste.
