Anton Bitel Sight & Sound located in the uncanny valley where humanity ends and artificial intelligence begins... it is a dead-eyed, voyeuristic glare into a future where technological advance is driven by the very worst kind of masculine imperatives. Jun 3, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Tim O Worked better, *before* the ending, than after. [shrug] I felt like they'd been playing games, more than the intended, 'Aha!', they were aiming for... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Uncanny ist ein amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Thriller von Matthew Leutwyler, der auf einem Drehbuch von Shahin Chandrasoma basiert… Einem Wissenschaftler gelingt es, die weltweit erste wirklich unfehlbare und damit perfekte künstliche Intelligenz zu entwickeln… Eine psychotronische Grenzwissenschaftliche Geschichte, die zwischen Physik, Parapsychologie und paranormaler Phänomene schwebt… Der Film fängt langsam an, aber es wird besser… Das Niveau der schauspielerischen Leistung ist enorm… Kurz gesagt, ein Film, der zum Nachdenken führt… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Autumn M Genuinely made an account to give my unnecessary two cents. I am not well versed in movies, but, I do have some background being a woman in engineering. Not only was this movie thought provoking, it had that… unethical sense that scientists love to delve into. Definitely chaotic, as well as unnerving by crossing many a boundaries. - *possible spoiler* - Almost like, the bionic version of Splice, if you will. I personally loved it, since first viewing it years ago. The acting was well placed, sinister, and adjacent to the story line. For those who compare this to Ex Machina, you may as well compare it to IRobot. There is a completely different story line, with a woman protagonist that y'all may have missed. On a sincere scale, 8/10. I feel like something of this caliber could have even been a series. Especially for American horror story, or black mirror. Who ever didn't like it is basic lol. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review scott k For sci-fi fans that prefer thought-provoking movies over laser battles and aliens, "Uncanny" is a smart tale with subtle tension throughout. The artificial intelligence plot is along the lines of "Ex Machina" and "Her" but is distinctive enough to not come across as a copycat story. The small cast does a skillful job of appearing brilliant and nerdy as well as likeable and emotional. Highly recommended. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review nilufer e I really enjoyed this low budget indie sci-fi flick to my surprise. It was intriguing from the beginning till the very end and well put together in its small surrounding. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Is the director just going to pretend that this material isn't blatantly plagiarized from Alex Garland's film, "Ex Machina"? Or is this just one of those shameless studio VOD/Redbox-only titles that exist only as a poor imitation of yesteryear's best movies? I need answers, badly.
