Have you noticed how most of the artificial intelligence movies that are out are about what can go wrong? Maybe it is the fear of the unknown or the fear of what can happen, but this movie does a great job pushing the envelope. This movie is full of surprises which makes who wonder who was T. I. M.s programmer? They say garbage in, garbage out and that certainly applies to T. I. M. I won't say what he does for the sake of being a spoiler, but let's just say you may want to think twice about smart homes and driverless vehicles. Either way, this movie will take you on a ride as T. I. M. Does not disappoint.

Garbage In Garbage Out
Solid, if not overly original sci-fi
Abi Campbell is employed by at a cutting edge robotics company where she works on T. I. M. The 'Technologically Integrated Manservant'... basically a human looking robot that does household tasks and is fully integrated into its owner's computer systems. She has moved to a remote rural home, hoping that away from London her husband Paul is less likely to keep straying. Their new hi-tech home comes with a T. I. M. Both a perk and a condition of her job. It appears to be very helpful but Paul doesn't like having it in the house; is he worried that T. I. M. Will make it harder for him to carry on with the neighbour or is there something genuinely sinister about their robotic servant?
I thought this was a pretty solid science fiction film even if the concept of humaniform robots in the home is hardly original; I couldn't help being reminded of the film 'Ex_Machina' and the TV series 'Humans' and 'Better than Us'. It is somewhat predictable but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining. Georgina Campbell impresses as Abi and Eamon Farren is delightfully creepy as T. I. M., firmly positioning the robot in uncanny valley even before its behaviour becomes obviously suspect. Most of the action takes place in the house and the surrounding countryside or occasionally the works; this provides an excuse to keep the cast fairly small. Most of the time things are merely creepy but there is occasional, effective action. The denouement is okay but not much of a surprise. Overall a decent if minor addition to this genre.
Better than average
I don't understand the poor reviews of this, I thought it was a well made film and much better than a lot of the Netflix originals I've seen recently. The storyline is good and never felt bored although it was predictable.
The acting is not the best but what do you expect with a low budget Netflix original film?
There are Some interesting ideas about AI and technology in you think about AI and the role of technology in our private lives. It's Not exactly a pure sci-fi film so it's not going to go too much into detail regarding technology but more thought provoking than anything.
I would say this is worth watching.
