At what point did you suspect


That Lee wasn't fully human?

For me the moment I started to suspect that she might be enhanced was when both she and Morgan fell out of the second story window, and both just got up and pretty much shook it off like nothing.

Then when she was impaled by the tree branch, I thought that's if for her, but when she was standing on the pier behind Morgan at that point I was pretty certain that my hunch was right.

For me it was when she went inside the house after Morgan without a gun. It was confirmed when they both went out the window tho

reply

For me it was really only the when she survived th impalement as if it was nothing, although I got suspicious already when she wasn't showing any emotional reaction whatsoever to the kiss as well as during the scenes where her face wa overlapping with the reflection of Morgan's face an you kin of couldn't tell who's who.

I forget exactly what happened, but a few minutes in. And I felt guilty because I thought this was an example of how I am too hard on people. When the end came, I wanted to punch someone in the face.

The first moment I saw her.
She acted like a robot from the first shot.
Big let down of a movie.

How so? I've met a lot of super serious people like Lee that act like "robots."

reply

How so?! Even before we see her, her introductory voice-over when she was calling into corporate sounds nearly indistinguishable from the system she is talking to. In fact, the moronic filmmakers bled the robotic audio effects from the automated recording onto her voice. My first thought was "yep, she's a robot." They then tried to play it off the whole stuffy company suit thing. But this is a movie about AI being evaluated, so it made sense that this was probably just as much her test as well.

Anyone who knows how to look for plot points should have picked up on it.

reply

I don't know ... the first scene with her, I just knew.
And when she was settling in, I knew it for sure.

reply

Her first phone conversation, so the first few minutes.

Unfortunately i found it immediately obvious, it didnt hurt the film for me though i still enjoyed it. Right at the start when she was offered food in the kitchen and she declined i figured it. Not that it was a total giveaway but having watched a endless amount of horror and sci fi it was the obvious clue. Vampires not eating etc.....

i was kind of hoping that there was gonna be more clues that she was an android but then it turns out she wasnt, but i guess thats been covered in other movies too.

As for where is stands as a film of this genre and theme it was good but didnt surpass Ex-machina, which i thought was better.

reply

"Right at the start when she was offered food in the kitchen and she declined i figured it." Why? She was shown at the dinner table eating a meal with the rest of them or did you forget that?

reply

I expected it once they explained how Morgan was created and definitely after Morgan's reaction to her at the first meeting. Morgan knew it.

reply

As soon as I saw her look at Morgan - it was obvious.

reply

Have to say, I didn't start to realize until she seemed fine after being impaled on the tree branch but afterwards, when I thought back through what had happened in the film and questioned if her behaviour hinted at her being synthetic, it became obvious that it was fairly clear from the start. Really good film imo.

I really wanted to believe she was human just because a plot twist at the end like that is really stupid and a big screw you to the viewers.

After she came back from being impaled it was obvious she was an android and really it just made me mad. We have seen movies do this same *beep* its so lazy and lacks ANY creativity to creating a decent ending.
