Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

One of my all time favorites.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I actually enjoyed this movie. It's not as challenging as it could be but there are some interesting twists and turns and all the leads put in good performances.The main question of the film is: has whatever makes up the 'soul' of Amelia been transferred to the android body, or is it just a computer copy (a simple copy and paste)? From parts of the procedure it looks like it's the latter, with the process called 'mapping' rather than a transfer. So if you follow that line of thought then the rest of the film is rather pointless. But if you think the scientists have really managed to transfer Amelia into the android then the arguments put forward have more depth.The scenes with the senator who opposes all such research are well-written, especially as he faces his own mortality.I'm not sure about the bit just before the end where the corporation decides to use the Amelia mapping data to create androids for everyone. If they truly believed they had transferred Amelia into the android then they would be (effectively) cloning her thousands of times over and then allowing people to reprogram her - not something an ethical corporation should do. Mind you, we're left in no doubt that ethics are not on the mind of the corporation. Just the doctor - who is then left out of the loop.The other ending - where the husband takes matters into his own hands - was much more satisfying and is probably where the film should have ended. Though finishing it with Amelia taking her own decision worked as well.It's not that demanding a film but it is thought-provoking is certain ways.Another reviewer bemoaned the CGI of the helicopter on the roof of the corporation and it IS dodgy, but mercifully brief. Other shots of the corporate HQ are also brief (and some at night) and are much better.And yes, there are comparisons to Ex Machina in the plot line but as I found that film very predictable and this one at least had a twist towards the end then I'd recommend an unchallenging viewing of this film on a lazy evening.

This movie is a story of Amelia who lived with her husband but one day bad luck strikes she dies at a young age so a company approaches her husband telling him that they have a way to bring her back.The story line was good but I don't think people are going to be very impressed after watching this movie because we have encountered many movies with this same kind of stories. The girl who did Amelia could have done a better job cause at some scenes of this movie when she becomes all bubbly she sounds like a retard. But rest of the actors did a good job. The ending was good and unpredictable.Yes i would ask everyone to give this movie a shot I know you guys have encountered movies like this before.My Rating 6/10

I saw this originally as a play and while I preferred that (reasons related to the politician character) I did enjoy the movie. I took my 14,16 and 18 year old daughter and we had spirited discussion afterwards. I think it would be excellent to watch and discuss in high school and science science and computer science classes. The only questionable material for kids may be brief mention of sex dolls and implied gun violence. Kids under 12 may be bored. Well acted for the most part, low tech, fun scenery for Iowans to see. They skip through the science details and focus on the real philosophical dilemmas facing tech builders and policy makers today. Worth seeing.

This a very low budget independent film that explores the subject of downloading a conscious mind and then building an android that may look like the actual human. It is thought provoking on many different levels - what it means to be human, where is someone's soul and what life may look like in the future with ageless bodies and minds that continue to evolve.
