Viewing Notes
This is a wild flick and rather prescient for its time. It’s basically Google Home / Amazon Echo gone insane. This is a story that’s been told before (computer becomes sentient) but this might be the first to impregnate its hostage. The payoff in the finale makes it all worth it. Just nuts.
