iariaI really enjoyed it.
I was simply expecting a disaster movie and was enjoying that aspect of it and then suddenly it was an emotion driven sci-fi movie. I liked both parts of the movie. The disaster part and trying to escape up a rapidly flooding apartment building was well done. The AI twist was neat.
+ I love that part of AI An-na in gaining her humanity/emotions/becoming a real person was in her learning empathy and acting on it successfully. She managed to save Ji-soo where human An-na failed. She stopped to help the pregnant woman, where human An-na walked away from them. She has to save Ja-in from the security team, where human An-na chose to walk away.
+ An-na's goodbye call with her mom made me cry.
+ I loved it when I noticed An-na's shirt suddenly had numbers and watching as they changed, and the design on it got more complicated.
+ When An-na flashed back to Ja-in demanding to know why he is always six and never ages I immediately wondered if somehow Hee-jo was actually the adult version of Ja-in. During their talk where he reassures her that Ja-in simply wants her to come back I was sure. But since the first disaster half of the movie was the events as they really happened he can't be. To bad, I think that could have been a very cool reveal. You know, while Hee-jo was a real man on that final day there's nothing to say his simulation counterpart couldn't have been an older Ja-in taking that form to guide his mother. Oh yes, I like that idea.
+ I liked that we got an explanation for why Ja-in kept disappearing on An-na. He wasn't simply being an annoying kid in a movie, but as a fully realised AI he remembered both what the human An-na had said to him and also that they were repeating the days, and thus he was simply trying to do what she told him to.
+ I really liked the visuals of the simulation during each failure.
+ There was a line in the movie that seemed to imply to me that other people's consciousness had been 'uploaded' into the computers not just An-na's. If true does that mean that every AI is actually a recreation of a human?
+ We see five ships sent back to Earth - does each of them have an An-na and Ja-in AI clone or are they all different people?
+ I really don't know why they waited until the asteroid hit Earth and the flooding started before trying to evacuate An-na or Im Hyeon-mo and their charges when they were essential for finishing the next stage of humanity. That is some poor planning there!
+ I felt like there should have been people on the roof and/or dead bodies.
