mor c Me malviaje y ni siquiera consumo Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Bryan P Harvey Keitel is no good in this, but its brief. Aside from that and maybe a few other goofy things that if you question too hard it ruins everything... this movie rules. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Orin D I read Lem's SciFi masterpiece long ago and admired it greatly. This mishmash of live action and boring animation does the book a great disservice. Some fine acting talent is wasted is this debacle. My wife made us watch it until the end, which I thought would never arrive. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Alec B The film has some great and original concepts about the future of imagery and society but doesn't really develop them or the characters clearly enough. Honestly for this to have worked and be truly immersive, the whole thing would need to be around 4 hours long. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Jim M The first half of this movie was pretty good but left me thinking "what are they going to do in the second half". Well, they decided to ruin the movie with animated, drug-induced bullshit. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Anne G Robin Wright, as Robin Wright is an aging actress who is coerced into signing contract to own her complete digital likeness and presents so movies can be made without her using AI. She also has a son and daughter. She goes about her life after signing her likeness away, then a new technology comes along, making AI movies, irrelevant. Basically, then if people take drugs, they can be an experience anything so she is now going to be marketed as a drug. She goes to the Congress and becomes animated and stuck in an animation. It's pretty trippy and weird, then later is frozen and 40 years past. Eventually, she finds a way to become an animated to go back to a world, which is basically medicated, homeless people shuffling around , ultimately, she finds a way to find her son and it is pretty touching and I think I actually shut a tear at one point. I thought this was incredibly relevant today on the topic of AI and also very thought-provoking. The zombification of humanity through endless entertainment. This movie had a pretty profound effect on me and what made me want to go outside and being nature and daylight and live free of digital and screen stuff so I took a spiritual screen cleanse immediately after this movie for several days.
