Negative Positive
Title: Leaves you wanting more
Review: The central theme of this film is endlessly fascinating: do we have genuine feelings in the classical/romantic sense, or are our emotions simply the sum of neurochemical processes? A sub-theme, the nature of artificial intelligence and how much it has in common with the human psyche, has been far more developed in films such as "A.I." and "Bladerunner," but was nevertheless poignant in the character of Koy-Koy. There was some intelligent scripting here, though the material on brain chemistry failed to go much beyond what one could glean from one good newspaper article. I felt it was a missed opportunity to really explore the topic in depth. The the actor playing Rand stands out as a real natural. Nice tasteful soundtrack. An enjoyable and touching film, but it felt a bit thin and underdeveloped.
Is the review positive or negative?
