This is a solid 3.5, but gave it a 3. The story moved a little fast, I wasn't fully connected to some of the characters like I wanted to be. Some scenes where not as polished as others. I don't want to spoil it. I have paid more for a lot less in theaters. If you don't like this, than you probably can't process it and should go back to watching P A, to have it handed to ya. Movies like this take real work, real talent and a real understanding of visual storytelling, so don't knock it. I don't like to pay a lot for rentals, but I don't feel cheated either. Enough said!

Like to see her go up against Lucy. Story had some pretty big holes but the message about what is the definition of life and whether a conscientious robot was any better than a human with consciousness and knowing right from wrong was pretty cool and clear. For a low budget film it was fine. Still was worth watching if you've got $0.99. At least it was 99 cents when I rented it.

This film paid homeage to Blade Runner and at least two other films of the same theme. Unfortunately plot largely follows the one from Ex Machina. That other film however takes a deeper philosophical approach to the Turing test. The other film also had a greater emotional punch in the ending. The action sequences were reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell but in this film it seems crudely spliced in.
