Blade Runner (1982)

That's what it is to be a slave

[8/10 · 20 November 2019]

A brave group of android slaves, struggling with the emotions denied them, return to Earth in a desperate bid to lengthen their artificially shortened lives, but are hunted down and murdered by a state sanctioned assassin.

Polterheist (II) (2018)

Great comedy that pulls no punches.

[8/10 · 7 May 2019]

This was great! If you love low budget, indie movies, like I do, it's a must watch. A Gangster/comedy, primarily a comedy, but doesn't pull any punches like other comedies tend to do. Plenty of great twists and performances. Loved it.

Genesis (II) (2018)

AI without logic

[2/10 · 3 January 2019]

Humanity is all but destroyed. The last few hide underground. Outside is too toxic to go find salvation, so they create an android to go look for them. Going to great pains to make this probe look human. Spoiler! The big Matrix level reveal is that the doc who's been making the android copy of her dead husband is actually an Android copy of the dead husbands dead wife that he made after she died but before he died. And everyone who counts knows this. She can survive outside, but instead of telling her to go outside and find salvation herself they... just... what? Let her spend months (years?) believing she's human while she tries to make something that can walk around outside. SHE CAN WALK AROUND OUTSIDE! Just send her out! Why don't they just send her out!?! People are dying!
