Highly underrated because...


Besides mistakes, or Melanie Griffith, it has an original point of view about artificial intelligence. I think it will be appreciated in the future.

It will be required viewing. Required... by our sex robot overlords!

Agreed. The execution may leave a lot to be desired, but the philosophical subtext of this movie is just fascinating as far as I'm concerned. The last hour of the movie had me tripping balls.

Sci-fi and A.Is in particular are fertile grounds for philosophical prospection and this movie is no exception. Reminded me of movies such as Prometheus, Transcendance or Ex_Machina in terms of the philosophical and metaphysical themes they share (never really managed to relate to Blade Runner I have to say, but I will give it a try again soon).

Anyway, moderately good movie.

7/10
