An AI takeover is implausible. Computers only do what they are programmed to do. The metaphor consistently reveals that humans are scared s..tless over things they do not understand.

That said, this movie is almost plausible. More plausible than the Matrix.

The actors are great. I enjoyed seeing Seth Green. The pace is decent. I understand why this film is split in two. I would have preferred it a bit more condensed as one film rather than a series. Personal Preference.

Humans are trash. Some humans understand violence is not the only answer, and I appreciate this film for giving glimpses of that option.

this is a real sleeper. on 2nd episode, lots of action, good real tech. streaming it on Netflix. i highly recommend it. it is based on a AI intelligence that just forms in the internet. it starts by testing computer controlled systems. taking them down. watching how the CIA does the same thing. then it starts attacking known threats, like hackers who were fighting it. it is a series that i guess was on TV somewhere, but i never saw it previously. 1 hour episodes. the main female character is pretty hot. the government players are mostly competent, and not fully evil, as most of this genre of series has. but they do not really know what they are up against, and need the help of this one hacker, one FBI agent, and the female reporter.

An interesting more where the up-to-date version of the evil mega electronic entity threatening the world. Can a team of outsiders go out whit the monolith government and the entity to save mankind or should they just give up now?

This happened a few times before as in Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) and we know who won that one.

And it looks like the entity has this thing about for a young male programmer - either loves him or kills him. Shades of Demon Seed (1977).

Remember this is a series, so do not be surprised if they may throw in the kitchen sink. Still, all in all, it is fun.

Let us not forget that this was made before IBM's Watson.

"Delete" had a good concept and the ending wasn't half bad. If you have nothing better to do, this might be a worthwhile way to spend a few hours. The movie did a respectable job of building suspense.

The camera work was meant to be creative but actually was annoying and detracted from the movie.

The acting was just good enough but some of the characters were a little hard to take. However overall the casting worked.

The plot is meant for the younger crowd and will seem juvenile to older viewers but get past that and there is a fairly exciting story to be had.

Clearly this is a made for TV movie and would never have survived wide release. It simply is not good enough but it had its moments and is thought provoking.

I feel ambiguous about "Delete" but am not sorry I watched it.

You've got movies so bad they're good, movies so good they're impenetrable, and then you've got irredeemable garbage. I gave it two stars for interesting camera angles. Other than that -- really -- find something else.
