If you've ever seen a film in which the main character is also the writer, director, producer, etc., you've probably seen this one. If you've ever seen a film by such a person that has a handful of characters with an extremely inflated sense of self-importance in one location, doing nothing but talking the entire time, then you have definitely seen this one.
I wanted to like this. The backstory (spoilers ahead) could've made an awesome movie: a group of friends/co-workers create an artificial intelligence that releases nanobots on the public, infecting everyone with the ability to be constantly connected to everyone else. The bots also control the physical body when needed in order to prevent harm, such as avoiding accidents and including being unable to commit violence against other people. We're told this group are the only remaining people not infected or connected to the AI.
I would love to have seen that story. Instead we get a convoluted, confusing mess of flashbacks and unreliable narrators focusing primarily on a love triangle related murder.
We're never told enough about this people to particularly care about them. We're told they are the ones that authorized the infection but not who they are to have had that power in the first place. Why did these people think it was okay to allow AI to take over the world? We're never told. Why are they trying to stop her now is equally a mystery. Instead of explanations we get a guy randomly spouting poetry and a woman with major anger issues.
It's obvious the film maker had something to say, unfortunately whatever it may have been is indecipherable.
