Was expecting a different ending (spoilers, obviously)


Since the middle of the movie, I was expecting the whole thing to turn out as a huge experiment in taking the AI from the early stages of limited pure logical functioning towards more complicated (and safe) scheme with not just logic but also empathy and feelings. No one was actually killed, Alex was an android controlled via 'Zen mode' etc. etc. Well... obviously I was wrong )

Yeah, I was thinking it would be cool if Alex was a cyborg or even Julia and she didn't know it. Lots of ways it could have gone.

I was expecting an annoying ending. In the beginning, there are TWO separate scenes where Julia is "plugged into the chair implant science thing". I thought the reality was that that only really happened once, and the rest of the movie was a simulation/experiment, meaning in the end it would be revealed that she was still trapped in the dungeon.

Thankfully the ending was better than that, but I still can't say I thought this movie was very good... I just thought TAU's "TEACH ME MORE JULIA PLS PLS" was just really corny, in the same way that the movie CHAPPiE was corny.

For a similar low-budget "artificial intelligence science-puzzle" movie, I'd recommend Infinity Chamber.

Don't know what you're talking about tbh, but in the middle of the movie I was thinking that maybe Tau actually was a person, one of the previous captives who's mind was transferred to the computer, and what Alex was planning to do to Julia next.
