646f9e108c In 2020, Elias van Dorne (John Cusack), CEO of VA Industries, the world&#39;s largest robotics company, introduces his most powerful invention–Kronos, a super computer designed to end all wars. When Kronos goes online, it quickly determines that mankind, itself, is the biggest threat to world peace and launches a worldwide robot attack to rid the world of the &quot;infection&quot; of man. Ninety-seven years later, a small band of humans remain alive but on the run from the robot army. A teenage boy, Andrew (Julian Schaffner) and a teenage girl, Calia (Jeannine Wacker), form an unlikely alliance to reach a new world, where it is rumored mankind exists without fear of robot persecution. But does this world actually exist? And will they live long enough to find out? 2020. It&#39;s been three years since VA Industries, led by genius Elias Van Dorne, revolutionized the way humans live with VA supplied robots now in three-quarters of all the world&#39;s households. In a misstep, VA got into the business of military robots in the wanted goal of world peace, with the exact opposite occurring in the robots having led to greater and more violent war. Now, Van Dorne has come up with an artificial intelligence called Kronos which he believes is the ultimate in robotics. In the mysterious worldwide broadcast launching Kronos which Van Dorne has not yet divulged what it is to do or accomplish, Van Dorne unleashes Kronos on the world, it which is to destroy the human race, which Kronos has determined is the cause of the world&#39;s problems. Van Dorne has uploaded a virtual version of himself and his colleague Damien Walsh into Kronos to oversee its progress on the mission to eliminate the human race. Fast forward to 2117. There are still pockets of humans who have been able to evade Kronos, the current survivors descendants of those who were able to survive in 2020. Purportedly, the largest pocket of resistance is in Aurora, its location which Kronos does not know. As such, Van Dorne, through Kronos, has created a robot in the form of a young human man to locate Aurora. He has created it the form and memory of a man who was in existence in 2020, Andrew Davis, the robot which truly does believe it is Andrew Davis with his memories. The robot is to befriend a young resistance fighter, Calia, who is trying to locate Aurora herself. Complications ensueVan Dorne has created a robot arguably more human than humans themselves, that robot of Andrew which may ultimately work on his own human driven emotions. Apparently Kronos didn&#39;t kill the barbers because Andrew has a pretty fresh haircut. It is set at the point in time of the rise of artificial being, and then it is set 5-generation into the futureEarth is devoid of humanity.<br/><br/>Although people might be excited &amp; desired to see the first part of the movie for its forward prediction on life &amp; society of the future (which is brief), the second part is secretly &amp; slowly highlight of the beauty of simple things with highly detailed &amp; colourful shot of natures &amp; charactersthe character move forward the storyline to end the artificial intelligence dilemmaits closing story arc (and open a new one).<br/><br/>This is a fresh storythe beginning &amp; end of artificial intelligence rise is referred to by many times in various sci-fi future mythology but never played out, especially in video games.
I used to think that this movie was terrible back in the day but now that I am watching it today, I have changed my mind about it. Maybe it’s because of my complete boredom during this pandemic or maybe because the movie has aged well, it was different from what I remembered as I watched it with my family. I used to remember a character who always said the enemy among us every time he was nervous and a salesman who never failed to shill his gacha characters to the main characters every chance he gets. I guess I was wrong when I said that this movie was bad.
