Was drawn in from the start, then towards the end it started to lose me a bit. But then it took a slight turn and completely won me over again. I love how (spoilers?) it all did end up being about Ava, and not the two dudes, who were both messes in their own ways.

It has touched me on an emotional level and I need to sit on it for a while, its one of those strange films that feel like a journey more than a movie, im really glad films like this still get made, CGI is used to create character and feeling instead of just explosions. Some people I know felt Whiplash was cold, I felt this was also like Whiplash where if you did connect the payoff was even better<br /> Great filmDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13900651640246375537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-78165768364998718282015-04-28T12:10:29.049-05:002015-04-28T12:10:29.049-05:00I didn't love it as much as you, Alex, unforun...I didn't love it as much as you, Alex, unforunately. I realize that this is just my expectations, but the movie didn't seem to delve as deep as I thought it would. It didn't seem to hit the heights that it seemed to be promising from the early part of the movie. A lot of the critical feedback, including yours, has been very positive, so it makes me want to revisit my opinion, for sure. I think what ultimately is at the core of my nitpicks is that these very intelligent characters do some unintelligent things, and I can't seem to shake that.<br /><br />I still thought it was ok, and definitely want to revisit it.Mark Ahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695975412662760562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-28644595271561736102015-04-27T22:07:40.875-05:002015-04-27T22:07:40.875-05:00Just saw it this afternoon.

I think the movie was most engaging when he was on the screen. I also loved the stark contrast between the modern, industrial feel of the house and the beautiful nature surrounding it.Luke Cianciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341348650523272729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-84985975391037855772015-04-21T17:53:11.065-05:002015-04-21T17:53:11.065-05:00Thanks Patrick for the heads up

It struck me that each of the three characters could be seen as the protagonist or antagonist at different points in the story. While the plot revolves around the relationship between man and machine, it reads equally well as a commentary on the relationships among men and women.Ivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-28548087069209953652015-04-20T16:28:26.295-05:002015-04-20T16:28:26.295-05:00I plan on seeing this despite the fact that I'...I plan on seeing this despite the fact that I'm pretty sure I know the twist of the movie just from watching the trailer.
