Watch the film, don't read the plot synopsis!

Scifi, future, humanity themes

Excellent Film, well worth watching and thinking about.

7.5/10 on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6499752/

This movie is a certified cult classic for me. the story, acting, pacing, all great.

Logan Marshall-Greens physical reactions and face as STEM first takes over in the house fight scene is dope.

The budget for this film was 3 million dollars! 3 Million. That is the same as 3 minutes of a Acolyte episode budget!

The visuals were really good as well!

Turns out the production cast of Acolyte didn't understand what cash was and they were just burning it in a generator to power the lights.

Wow that ending.

Real Colossus: The Forbin Project vibes! I love the gentle AI apocalypse, but i love out the AI is trying to protect itself from competition first!

Small nit, STEM was in the neck, so being able to see, or hear, or control what the brain can see and hear... wrong place for the routing.
