A.I. Rising

Unexpectedly good! Great SF comic book like atmosphere created (photograph and music). Recommend to the ones who are not looking for main stream movies.

I was thinking this was going to be a pretty good sci fi....It started out well but became tedious to watch very quickly. This could have been a really good movie about a pilot and the A.I. but because a soft pornographic movie. It evolved around sex between the two, maybe that was the point but it was just repetitive to me to watch. I stayed until the end but came away with nothing. I know it was a low budget movie, and that is ok with me. Only 4 different actors including the voice of the computer..and that was ok also. I like those kind of movies and they can be done really well but, this was just not one of them. The story and the performances just were not good enough. I gave it a 5 for some of the visuals which I did like even though there were only 4 or 5 sets in the whole movie. Sorry I just didn't like this one.

This has what most of us want in a Sci fi film: 1. An unfamiliar (in this case future) setting - in space. 2. A central character who struggles dealing with an unusual and unexpected circumstance. 3. VERY good visuals with a score that enhances (and doesn't drown) it. 4. A time investment commensurate with the payoff: only 85 minutes. 5. Some plot twists. It's the latter point, a relatively thin plot, that costs this a higher score. On a somewhat related note, the folks who complain about the sexual content lose one of the most important points of the film. It is the sexual dynamic in male/female attraction and relationships, specifically the power struggle, that adds to (and does not define) this film. The real theme (and goal of the viewer) is THE MISSION. Once the viewer uses this as the premise for watching and solving the "puzzle" the screenwriters are throwing at us, the viewing experience of Sci fi fans like me becomes a worthwhile undertaking.

From the beginning of the film where the really bad and annoying voice over literally begins to spell out that the robot's breasts must protrude ever so slightly and that her voice and face must vaguely resemble that of the male's mother, I knew I should turn this off. Like a bad car accident one happens to chance upon though, and has to stay and watch, you just feel 'less-than' afterwards. I can think of no greater insult to movie-goers than a derivative film where the people who made it think that their target audience is so embarrassingly dumb, that they have to explain everything. This film does just that. Then, add cardinal film-making sin number two: resort to gratuitous sex in order to fill in film time. I guess you can't blame them though. Judging by the film's score (a laughable, bloated 7), there must be some who just enjoy that very thing. I can't understand why though. If you're looking for soft * and bad voice overs, you can find better across the internet.

I created an account just to rate this movie..... And what a waste of time it was. Poor story (could have been told in a low budget 20 minute show) same story as ever, man falls for android, android gets human feelings and shuns man, man risks life to save android, android falls for man... blah blah...... What a waste of 85 minutes and i forced myself to watch as home sick. Should have gone to work.... Special effects are good (but so are low budget TV shows now) Acting was more mechanical than the android itself, story runs painfully slowly and no emotions in delivery of the dialogue. 1/10 and only because I couldn't give it a minus score. Don't waste your time, no action, no story line, no love affair, no happy ending (in fact no ending at all!) spaceship made from old bits of plastic with no real design, so i can onlyn presume this was made as a tax write off.... Overall Poor
