Remember the Nerd from science class in High School that wore the shirt saying, "Robots do it Better"? We we finally have proof! The nerds were right! A true hidden gem found on Netflix recently that is a must watch for the true movie buff. In the spirit of Ex-Machina, even though made three years prior, this movie tells a tale of a socially awkward robotics nerd who has created his own artificial intelligence. It's a robot with an uncanny resemblance to a real human. Still in the learning mode, he acts a little confused when involved in certain situations but his AI keeps him developing to the point of wanting to be human. Fortunately for it, a discovery of porn enters shortly after the hot grad student signs on for a week long interview session with the couple. Jealousy, rage, and confusion enter the picture and the robot becomes suspicious. This movie had some really good acting and the story/script was outstanding. Unfortunately there was something missing. I cont quite put my finger on it and think maybe it was either the somewhat predictable ending, or the few scenes where it almost had a made for TV feel? I wish it would have had a little bigger budget as to incorporate more suspense, characters, action, sci-fi, whatever. Overall, great film with a truly good performance.
FYI: There are only 4 actors in the entire film.
