Absolutely HATED IT!!! Love to hear other opinions....


Hello, Im interested in seeing if Im in the minority or majority here. The only way I can describe this movie is BIZARRE. If the coming future entails humans falling in love with and having simulated sex with what looks like a cellphone - then we are seriously in trouble. He has sex with it, he takes it on vacation, he doubledates with it. INSANITY!!! I personally received no entertainment value whatsoever with this film. As a matter of fact, i found myself cringing every 5 minutes or so. ANyway - I think Ive clearly stated my take. Love to hear some others.....

I agree. The movie was dull, boring and exceptionally inaccurate at portraying technological development in the near future. But the worst part about the movie was that awful voice the operating system had. It sounded like a Hebrew Snake with a sore throat.

oh :/ poor soul, you didnt get the message. wouldnt make any difference if Her was a real person, but this way you could much more relate to her, imagine her, get to know her...in fact watching the movie YOU were dating Samantha too. see the point of this movie is at the end. and i would recommend for every teenager to watch this to help to build their personality, help to deal with loosing somebody, help to learn about relationships.

Didn't sit through the whole movie while I was installing programs on my PC. I didn't hate this movie from what I did see. I thought it was a little sad maybe pathetic that humans can't have real relationships anymore except with their machines.

I didn't hate the movie, though at first, and then looking back after the film, throughout the whole film, the depiction of the OS or AI seemed pedestrian, sophmoric, though probably just lacking in a full enough understanding of the subject matter.

To me this is "Man of older generation meets immature girl of younger generation. In the short term he is reinvigorated in life through sharing her view. She matures and grows beyond him, partially because she is of a younger generation that has matured and grown beyond his own generation. He eventually accepts this and starts a relationship with someone of his own generation. The End."

People wrestle with this movie due to the newer generation being depicted poorly by an AI, and the secondary plot of unsuccessfully trying to make an argument against the newer generations use of technology based on, what I see as, the older generation writer's perceived shortcomings of the newer generations relationship with the world that is foreign enough to him to only seem wrong.


That's my take on it.

overrated for sure

not the worst film out there, but nothing stimulating about it either

5/10

certainly not an 8 (or oscar worthy)

Enemy should have been nominated for an oscar instead of this

Bored to death. I don't understand the hype..

I tried watching this, twice, on the premium channels... To keep from falling asleep and/or getting grossed out, I had to change the channel. If I ever find a copy of Electric Dreams http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087197 I'll be a happy guy...

Time is an illusion; Tea Time, doubly so.

Well, pretty much all humans during all time eras have been complete and utter retards, so why shouldn't we expect the same trend continue in the future? It is not the movie's fault humanity is the way it is. Good movie, bad monkey species.

reply

Are you *beep* serious...bad monkey species??? The whole movie was made by your bad monkey species, of which you are one. It was a crap movie. Cute idea but *beep* ya stoopid munky

reply

I know I am one idiot monkey, just like you are, and pretty much everyone else as well. So come down from your ivory tower, we are all retarded idiots and the only ones of us even moderately clever are those who realize this ultimate fact about this basic human retardetness as our ultimate defining quality.

reply

so why waste your time...go top yourself now and save us all your morbidity

reply

So you don't want me to waste me time? How very nice of you. Now perhaps you can explain how me topping myself would save any of my time exactly? Wouldn't it rather take away all my time instead of saving it? Your statement is another example of how badly and illogically our human brains function. Then again, I suppose it is not your fault, since you weren't asking to be born with the badly bugged devide that is inside all of our skulls.

reply

Your grasp of English is not the best. I don't care what you do with your time I was asking WHY YOU are wasting your time. You are not happy with the current evolutionary point of primates whilst being one of them, so I simply suggest you retire from your existence thereby saving resources that could otherwise be used in a more useful manner. I was hoping you would save OUR time, but now I am glad you are still around for some idle conversation. So it was not nice of me at all &, yes, you are correct. Being a human has never been anyones fault. Blaming the species for it being, is not the same as blaming a civilised society for its doings. The movie was not a good movie to me. As I have said in another post re: this forum; the premise was valid, the execution failed for me. What did you think of Ex Machina?

Also the profanities may have skewed my actual delivery
