One movie has all the hallmarks of modern/lazy storytelling - including the now-clichéd anti-tech stance - presenting a perfect ex of Hollywood's vacuous state
Given how much Hollywood hates AI because it makes a lot of their more mediocre people (aka people who did this movie) irrelevant, I expect more of this kind of really bad movie, not less.
I can't wait to get AI driven video production in the hands of actual creative people.
Ahhhh, I watched this film on a plan when it first came out, and I don't remember it fondly. Glad to read it hasn't aged well. I just have that image of Emma Watson looking smug into a drone at the end seared into my memory (and how angry it made me).
It's based on a 2013 book of the same title, by Dave Eggers. I wrote an extensive review back then on my blog, but I can't find it now. It must have gotten lost on a migration between CMS'. The book was much better than the movie.

Yeah even less of an excuse not to make a good flick here then if they had decent source material. Many such cases
I'm so tired of the "Tech is bad" trope. I never understand why script writers can't see a potential positive future. Why is everything dystopian?
