Visually stunning. Stupendously absurd.

This movie is a love letter to AI written by a sixth grader. It's hard to express just how bad the writing is with its over use of stereotypes and clichés, but if you are still watching past to 90min mark you should get an award. It's an all out assault on your intelligence and ends up being nothing more than a popcorn movie with zero meaningful insights into actual AI.

I find it hard to imagine anyone with any sci-fi sensibilities getting any enjoyment out of this at all, but it sure is pretty to look at. Give it a go for a mindless couple of hours separated from any sense of reality, but don't expect anything more.

The list of absurdities is very long, but these couple really stood out for me.
