Fun and thrilling! Considering it was made in 2015, very thoughtful for the time. Feeling a little “🤓☝️ actually” since the technical stuff wasn’t quite accurate. I think if this movie was made today, the ending would have been more reflective of corporate greed and critical of people genuinely being in love with an AI persona
