With no knowledge of this film or what it was about but seeing as it was the latest film by beloved acclaimed director Charles Band, and having viewed several of his films in recent years. Had some expectations of just solid entertainment.
Although the cover art looks relatively cheap, the overall quality of the film is watchable and not overly low budget. The special effects aren't terrible as the design of the AI character of AIMEE looks good, as do the background scenes.
The story is intriguing as while watching we are interested in where it is heading. Most of it is quite predictable but there is still some thrills and suspense to be had. Considering the subject matter, most would expect some skin to be shown. Although we don't see the character of AIMEE shed but there is an extended scene with the lead female Gazelle (Faith West- possibly a star in the making. Be on the lookout for her).
What makes this film worthwhile is the runtime being quite short as things move quite quickly. Although in the end, not everything seems to be answered such as who was behind the hacking of the AIMEE. Was expecting a reveal of sorts.
Perhaps these artificial intelligence sci-fi films will become more if a trend and they are highly entertaining. Overall decent film. Expect it to be more popular in the coming months.
