The concept of A.I is interesting due to our fast pace technological advancement in the 21th century. Vice reintroduces the idea of humanoid robots much like Will Smith's 2004 film, IRobot. Vice on the most part lacks story substance, but the idea alone deserves a watch in my opinion. This film has a few smart twists which made the lack of story a less of an issue. But one can also argue that because of the dullness in the storyline, one might perceive the twists as more interesting since the movie has very little to offer.
The two best twists I found are the defense mechanism that Julian made for his robots and then the ending where Julian opens his eyes which leaves a nice trail of mystery for the viewers.
I built the foundations to the rating of 6 on the basis of the A.I concept alone. Apart from the concept, there are many questionable parts in the film. I will attempt to list them below.
1. Evan's character really had no purpose other than to add the whole "sob" aspect to the story. His death was very awkward (watch to see why)
2. Kelly is like Keanu Reeves from the matrix, dodging bullets left and right.
3. Probably the best part yet (sarcasm): Supposed genius Evan leaves with Kelly to their next destination, but LEAVES 1 million clues for the enemy to find! Bulletin board full of details to their destination.
4. So the whole point is to shut down the Vice operations as safely as possible, but they unleash a deadly slaughter by the robots during the reboot process?
5. So what will happen to the human robots after this whole ordeal?
