I was really excited to see an indie movie especially raising a very interesting idea about AI usage that could actually make sense. Unfortunately the writers (who unfortunately is also the director) did a poor research job and ended up feeding us hot garbage and non-sensical buzzwords for 90 straight minutes. That, in combination with low budget, student-esq production and hard-to-understand dialogues makes this barely watchable. I turned on closed-captioning and kept watching to see if there is any interesting insight at the end, but instead it is going from bad to worse, making the 3rd act one of the worst pieces of cinema I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing.
This "movie" is divided into 3 acts. They are going forward in leaps of time, one in our times, one in the near future, and one ~50 years from now. The first act, other than being completely wrong technically, is not too bad. The idea of using AI to do the humans "dirty work" is interesting and fresh and putting all the actors in one room for 30 minutes and having the AI (what is obviously a pre-recorded human girl) works, but makes the film look cheap and starts to annoy at some point. Also, if you have read anything about this movie, you know what's coming, so that big "reveal" moment is a big nothing burger, whatever the director were trying to achieve there emotionally, they missed it completely.
Speaking of annoying, the 2nd act was almost created just to do that. Instead of developing the abilities, limitations and risks of AI, the writer instead chose to dwell into internal politics of some made-up organization, people getting upset and making dumb decisions for no reason, really bad use of precious movie time. I also have to say that Cherry (portrayed by Tatum Matthews) is not doing a good service here; it's not about "appearing completely human" is it just about bad acting, you can see that she is acting, which is just bad, she is a TV actor and not ready yet for big screen, and it's very apparent.
If you thought that was bad, just wait for the 3rd act. In this act, the inventor is old, the girl is some sort of a robot (WTH?) that has 1950's wires attached to it, but they are not necessary for some reason. (I couldn't helping the production people running in the background pulling on that wire as Tatum moves left & right :). Cherry spends more of her time debating why her life was bad and she could have been dancing and making friends instead of whatever she was doing online. I don't know even where to begin, it is SO bad the writer/director (F. Ritch) should take a good look at the mirror and think if this is the kind of garbage he wants to produce in his future career (as short as it may be)
So, no, I didn't like this film and I feel bad for whoever watched this and thinks he now knows more about AI after watching it, where in fact, they are most likely to know LESS after enduring this pile of nonsense. Please do yourself a favor and watch something more educational, like a TED talk. Overall score: 42 / 100.
