A paradoxical and schismed movie with emotion-driven mixed messaging
Ostensible Messaging - "AI is too powerful and dangerous, and can take over the world to cause it's destruction."
Final Messaging - "AI must be trusted to help humanity save the world from humanity."
Seriously...... this is the total message of the movie. That humans left to themselves will cause the destruction of the world, and that AI left to itself will cause the destruction of humanity. But they leave out an essential third option....... that HUMANS LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES, learn self-control and individual responsibility, and CHANGE so that destruction is not a foregone conclusion and AI is not ever needed.
This move is just another cog in the ever expansive machinery of the ongoing AI gospel that has been permeating the entertainment industry since the late 80s. It's pure propaganda designed to "address" the "concerns" of all people who are cautiously wary of the obvious dangers and eminent risk of AI and Quantum Computers. Make no mistake - AI, Quantum Computers, and Neuralink are just the tools of billionaires and government elitists used to control, manipulate, and subjugate the masses.
The protagonists (Atlas) in the movie eventually emotionally humanizes the decidedly NON-HUMAN AI so they can perfect their 100% Neuralink (which is even the same trademarked name as Elon Musk's device that couples the human brain with computers) so they can defeat the evil (misguided) AI who wants to destroy most of humanity indiscriminately in order to save the world.
The story? Entertaining.
JaLo? Awesome.... as usual.
Cinematography? Okay.
It's worth at least one viewing..... if only to confirm the auspices of this review. But don't be fooled...... this is just Elon Muskovites - who champion the AI cause - attempting to quell and control the inevitable outpouring of negative sentiment toward AI. But call me crazy - I don't think it's going to work.
