I was interested in this because of Hannah Arterton and it was odd to see her in such a grim movie after the upbeat Walking On Sunshine.
Overall it's a basic premise; human against out of control technology, the conflict reminded me somewhat of HAL 9000 in 2001 A Space Odyssey but without the filmmaking skill.
I guess there have been so many films of this genre that they need to make the story vague or convoluted in order to stand out, but all this one does is make the viewer ask 'why was this needed?' There are a lot of puzzling and unresolved scenes which is not necessarily a wrong thing but in this film the viewer doesn't get any background information or character development to have a chance to connect the dots.
I felt no sense of peril during the film nor a sense of triumph at the end. I pretty much didn't care.
