..but I enjoyed watching this little movie:
First off, of course the narrative is known sort of (Dangers of AI) but, if you resist watching Spoiler-Trailers or reading Spoilers you'll enjoy the enfolding of an interesting Story + quirky characters, which will leave you thinking afterwards.
With a (perhaps) comparably quite low budget (*) Rain Rannu managed to create a modern mix between Mary Shelleys' Frankenstein aka "The Modern Prometheus", Roman Polanskis' Dance of the Vampires and Johann Wolfgang von Goethes' The Sorcerer's Apprentice" ("Der Zauberlehrling") which all strangely fit our nowadays Ai dilemma although all above written 200y earlier.
Coming across a bit slow at times I'd have wished for a more dynamic, accelerating storyline with maybe a bit more twisted plot, but the fabulous 'lost places' like setting in the (presumably) Estonian or somewhere Baltic Cold- or II War Bunker and the great landscape.
Make sure you don't miss the epilogue of Jaan Tallinn, who is an Estonian billionaire computer programmer and investor known for the development of Skype and file-sharing application FastTrack/Kazaa.
(*I simply assume it was only a low budget necessary with 1 derelict bunker in the woods, 1 Tent, 2 Server Racks, 2 Drones and 10 actors ;) nevertheless and even more so, this is a well done great slow burner - just don't expect any Special effects or CGI, think more Theater Play, in a good way )
