I think some reviews here are way too harsh on this one. I agree that this is not a very original concept, and we've seen it executed flawlessly, even decades before. It's another angle on human-machine conflict and that's fine. I think the issue is that the script needed more coherence. There's a lot of logic issues... which is not great. But I don't think it ruins it.
This movie delivered more than I was expecting. It has great visuals, the acting is fine, the CGI is neat, the story is interesting, engaging and drives you to an experience that is worth watching. I don't feel like it was a wasting of time at all. Make some popcorn, lay on your couch and enjoy some fun time. It may be a little silly for its premisse, to be honest, but at the end of the day this movie is entertaining and I appreciate that.

I liked it.
Not bad at all, not great either
This movie isn't very original or groundbreaking, and it becomes a rather predictable ride about halfway through. But, if you can manage to suspend your disbelief just enough, that ride is still mostly entertaining.
The acting is decent, although Ed Skrein's character is not very convincing as either a villain or a scientist. I felt the AI was lacking a bit in the "I" department and the interactions with it are mostly shallow.
Visually it all looked very pleasing, although lacking in originality.
All in all, this movie does feature a little bit of everything you might want to experience in a movie about AI. The action, the suspense, the drama, it's all there. And if you don't expect a masterpiece or blockbuster, you may find it very passable for what it is.
7/10.
definetely not perfect, but it has its strong points
Ok so full disclosure, ill admit this movie isnt perfect. but the thing i like about it was the fact that instead of being another cookie-cutter "A.I. is evil" sci-fi movie, the movie actually had a positive view of the A.I. and didnt label it as the bad guy. and that i think is worth some points. i probably wont be watching this again anytime soon, but i would still say this is worth a watch. salso the CGI was pretty impressive (even if it was used sparingly)
