I had not expectations about this having barely heard much and never seen the trailers, but as an AI fan immediately set an evening aside to watch on Neflix.
I really like this one; it does what it says on the tin and doesn't really attempt to be anything other than what it promises without apology. Its a decent story, that has been thrashed out fairly well, and given what it offer I think it more than delivers.
To be fair its a well worn theme spun with new thread, but what isn't these days. Its all in the delivery and this delivers without question. Lots of action, explosions, a bit of intrigue and a half decent tale woven into an action movie about the looming pitfalls for humanity given our arrogance regarding technological development... sound familiar? As yet another of the 'humanity doomed due to AI' renditions, it ranks amoung the top tier in being engaing and entertaining.
Its a better script than I'd expect for somethig this hackneyed, with very good direction and great CGI. The cast is very capable and J-Lo is on point in the leading role.
J-Lo plays an an agitated, highly driven woman with an axe to grind against the institutions handling AI being somewhat of an SME in the field whose mother was instrumental in Ai research and neural interface. That... and later come combat soldier. She certainly delivers. She gives an excellently well developed performance of a character driven account of the person she's representing, and for the most part this is not a well liked character at all. Too many novice reviewers misinterpret characters they con't like as bad actors, which is obviously misconceived, but also misleading and somewhat disengenuous.
Anyway I'm not going to pic this one to bits save that its worth watching. I think, the average veiwer with find it entertaining but sci-fi enthusiasts will like it considerably more. I've just watched Gozilla x Kong, and like that too, but this is better... though not as good as Gozilla-1.0 (thats Godzilla one point zero, and not Gozilla minus one as the Western world seems to have interpreted the title)
