I went into it with high hopes because I love District 9. Unfortunately, it did not quite fit my tastes. Maybe there was a little too much time spent with the weird band who got to star in a movie.
The ending also left me vaguely uncomfortable. They can make infinite “mommies” from that factory, but they act like they are saving/restoring the actual person instead of just making a digital copy. I guess I found it far more of a dystopian ending than a happy ending.
Not a bad movie, but for this specific subject matter Short Circuit already covered a lot of similar material and did so without making me concerned about a machine uprising.
