The emotional impact that it was going for was undermined by the way that they just handwaved giving "emotion" to a robot with no explanation of what that even meant and no real understanding for the viewer that the robot was conscious or anything. it seemed to just be an automaton that happened to emulate having emotions, and fairly badly. a much better film that explores similar ideas with a lot more thought put into it is Bicentennial Man. actually, Terminator 2 is a much better exploration of AI as well. really, what should be the whole point of the movie (exploring the concept of AI) is missed practically right out of the gate by not establishing what makes the protagonist anything more than a robot. maybe it's the performance, can't remember, but you never get the sense that there is anything more than a mindless machine there. even Arnie in T2 was able to convey an artificial consciousness trying to understand humans and humanity. HJO never acted like anything more than a mindless robot with some badly written emotion subroutines. yeah it's not really a movie about AI. the hollowness of david, being driven only by irrational desire he has no control over, is kind of the point imo --- hi im chelsea ^__^ You have entered the lair of SOMA - the Sega Online Machine Agent.
