Personally, I really like the movie A.I. (Most folks don’t.) At first glance, the movie spends it’s runtime making you think David is the first mecha to have artificial intelligence. A friend pointed out that the first was really Gigolo Joe, through all of his self-directed actions in the movie that go against his (presumed) programming.

De Ex Machina is another thoughtful movie.

After Yang trailer

I'm Your Man trailer

I've been banging the drum for these on the movie threads for some time so I won't do so again here, but both are good. After Yang was probably the best film coming out of Sundance this year.

After Yang premiered last summer at Cannes to excellent reviews. It was then held back for Sundance and is now being released on March 4. There will be a limited theatrical release and it will stream on Showtime. I'd recommend seeing it in a theater if possible; it's visually stunning, but there's also some very tricky cinematography having to do with layered memories recalled from different points of view, as well as face to face vs. telescreen conversations; these are all shot differently.

I'm Your Man is a German film released last year; it opens as a quirky (and pretty funny) romcom but it does not end up where you think it will. You will not see the twists coming.
