    • Quotes

      Rand: My question is, does the chemical make-up between two human mammals make up our personal involvement a moot point?

      Sarah McCaulley: Of course, it's all chemical to start with. It's all just signals to communicate with these bodies we live in, but true love is incredible, all consuming.

      Rand: No I totally agree with you, all consuming. BUt so is the lust, I mean is it possibly rooted in physiology rather then

      [hand quotes]

      Rand: our hearts?

    Not what it seems to be.....
    I thought this film was going to be a drama about a guy who makes a women in his computer and falls in love with her. It's not. However it's not a bad movie either.

    Dopamine is actually about a guy who is developing a 3D interactive pet for computers. When the investors want to test 'koy koy' the pet out, it gets tested at a local daycare.

    Sabrina Lloyd (of sliders fame) plays one of the daycare teachers, and the love interest for the emotionally over analysing Rand (John Livingston).

    What follows is 79 mins of pretentiousness.

    While I still enjoyed the movie, it definitely has a small audience. I imagine that women between the ages of 18 and 25 will love this movie.

    As I always say you should never trust a reviewer because they only review based on taste and everyone has different tastes.

    Good movie, solid performances, check it out for yourself.
