The other reviewer felt this movie was far-fetched, but I feel just the opposite. It's like Hal 9000 and Siri and viruses and artificial intelligence all coming together. Even now, after I look up an item on Amazon.com, ads from that company follow me from web site to web site. Apps can control devices in your home. Add some AI apps to that and you might get an app that decides it's not really you trying to get into your garage. Throw in some spyware and you could be watched inside your own house.
Anybody ever have adware/spyware that would not allow itself to be deleted? My brother had one of those. Ever had your computer held hostage by someone who wanted money or else your files would be encrypted? A former co-worker had that happen.
Your cell phone tracks your location, your preferences, and your buying habits. Facebook wants access to your personal data, as does Google (which makes the Android software in your phone, how convenient). I'm not trying to be paranoid, but (spoiler alert) it was chilling when Iris (Siri spelled backwards) listed the date of a person's death while that person was still alive.
The irony is that this movie comes with an app that can run alongside the movie. But after watching the movie, there's NO WAY I'm downloading that app.
