I generally like this type of dystopian film and thought I'd give it a try, accidentally stumbling upon mention of it. I even had to go to the trouble of translating subtitles from French to English to understand it, an endeavour that turned out to be well worth it.
To me it highlights the danger of strict dogma sweeping the world. Rigid unbendable rules and beliefs that can be very flawed in reasoning and premise. Whether these be artificial intelligence or human the effect is much the same.
My review is deliberately sparse so as not to spoil the watching, but if you can look past the low budget there is a great film underneath.

I think the critics must have been influenced by the trailer and expected some action packed blockbuster. If you love Star wars et al and love your sci fi full of flash then please steer clear of this movie.
The world's population has been decimated ( as usual ) and we are left with a lone girl and her guardian robot.
The robot's AI is as you would expect. Totally devoid of any humanity. Unfortunately for the sole surviving human she discovers that the robot, while adequately protecting her, may not necessarily be acting in her best interests. I have never seen a movie like this and only ask that you do NOT watch the trailer.

It's a Polish movie, and truth be told, I haven't seen many of those, but the trailer looks pretty good. What made me chuckle was that the robot looks conspicuously like the cute robot from the "Short Circuit" movies I watched and loved when I was a kid. The Russian translation of the title actually names the movie "The Final Short Circuit". Not sure if this is an inside joke or the director was a fan of the movies, or there were spare "Short Circuit" robots lying around in Poland, but here you go.
The scenery looks a bit like the Fallout game, so not too bad either. Not bad for a low budget sci-fi flick.
