I was very impressed by this movie. Miss Christy is a great actress and get to show it. The whole idea of Artificial Intelligence turning evil or at least self-serving is imaginatively explored. Admittedly the big question is why isn’t the electricity simply shut off comes to mind. But overall, the film brings out the fear of machine that every human feels. Only The Matrix and I, Robot, with its modern computer generated images does better at asking the question “What can man ultimately make of machine and how will he relate to it.
