In the near future, mankind has been coexisting alongside AI, in the form of humanoid robots The Simulants, only their fate is changing, an uprising looks likely when The Simulants start breaking their four precepts.
I watched Blade Runner very recently, and as I watched this, I couldn't get it out of my mind, but sadly this film isn't a patch on it. Everything here has been done before, only much better.
Pacing was pretty slow, after an intriguing opening, it lulls badly in the middle, you're made to wait ages for more action sequences.
I didn't care for the visuals of The Simulants, they looked pretty cheap and nasty, like something from a low budget 1970's TV series.
The tech looks great, it's possibly the film's biggest strength, some great tunes, especially at the end, fortunately it's not a long film.
Some of the acting was ok, some was pretty average, Sam Worthington really did stand out, although he was a little wasted.
5/10.
