I was left confused by the time this
movie ended; not in the way of ‘Inception’ kind of confused, but the way where
I ask myself why I bothered to watch this movie. An immediate answer popped
into my head, because it starred Morgan Freeman and Jonny Depp, and Christopher
Nolen is the executive producer of this movie.
But still it turned out to be a sad affair.
To be honest the basic premise of
the movie is not bad; where a dying man’s consciousness is transferred into a
machine with artificial intelligence capabilities. So what happens next? Well
nothing amazing in my opinion.
The question about the danger of
having an artificial intelligence machine which can subsequently take over the
world is raised repeatedly during the movie, and throughout the movie the
intention of artificial intelligence machine keeps you wondering all the time,
but the climax is a big letdown. The movie lacks humor, snappy dialogues or any
other kind of think that you can call entertainment. At times you feel like you
are watching an art movie. I can understand about Jonny Depp but why Morgan
Freeman agreed for this role is beyond my comprehension. His kind of talent is
not fit for such unworthy roles. Maybe due to his constant collaborations with
Christopher Nolen he agreed for this part.
I am not a science student and I may
be certainly wrong, but the way the artificial intelligence machine starts
doing some ‘nanotechnology’ stuff is simply idiotic. The code of the machine
starts getting into water, soil, air and every ware and suddenly a low ranking
FBI officer decides that they need to shut down the entire internet network of
the world, and nobody bothers to even find an alternative. But the cheery on
the top is the way a virus in injected into the machine, first a virus in
injected into a human, and then the consciousness of that person is uploaded into
the all mighty machine, so please tell me how you insect a computer code inside
a human body; again I am not a science person and maybe I was too stupid to understand
the logic behind it; so if you fell you are good at the subject feel free to
try your luck and watch the movie, else there are better options available.
Avoidable.
