    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the trailer, when the family opens the box to reveal AIA for the first time, it says, "Hello, World." This is a reference to the first program most people write when learning to code or starting in a new programming language. It's one of the most basic programs a person can write, and serves not only as a first step for novices, but also a confirmation that the development environment is setup correctly.
    • Goofs
      In the kitchen, Maud visibly unplugs AIA, but seconds later, when she commands AIA to turn on the lights, AIA is somehow plugged in again and obeys.

    I'm AfrAId I love this movie...

    Horror is not my genre. I do like Black Mirror and this is not that either. This is something to itself. It has some of the most impressive dialogue and premises followed by the most unimpressive. It's kind of like eating a secret flavored corn chip you can't quite place the flavor of, but can't stop eating.

    Honestly, the entire story seems the most plausible way an AI would take over mankind. The twists were again...either impressive or...not...but the actors did a solid job and I found myself wondering "what if"?

    What if they flushed out better plot beats?

    What if the character motivations were more logical and coherent?

    What if this was the AI masterpiece I've always hoped to watch?

    I'm AfrAId all of those questions will remain suspended without closure.
