People are too tolerant these days. This definitely isn't worth an 8 rating. It's probably the most overrated movie of 2013. The movie starts with a dull and boring male character. A socially inapt loner probably suffering from autism, working in a weird office that writes love letters for other people who are probably just as autistic as he is or even worse if they needed someone else to express their feelings for them. So anyway, one day, this weirdo finds an advertisement about some intelligent operating system (AI). So he decides to buy it. What comes next is beyond words.... he falls in love with his damn OS1 called Samantha who herself makes 641 other boyfriends. LOL
Things that really upset me about this movie: 1 - Fashion! What in the world is wrong with this movie? Even though this happens somewhere in the future, everyone is dressed in dull stupid suites with ties and stuff. Is there a cloning factory as well in the future that we weren't told about? No one is different in the future, they all wear clothes from the 1970's? I know fashion tends to return at various points in time but this is ridiculous. Seeing everybody's outfits was just too painful to watch. Somewhere at minute 46 or something Theodore is at the beach with his phonefriend, I mean girlfriend Samantha. There you can clearly see that everybody wears old swimming suites from like 70's or 80's or something. That was just too damn stupid to watch.
2 - Everybody is too calm and too boring. Why was everybody so slow and boring, dull and autistic? They mean to tell us that in the future, fun = dullness? Why wasn't anyone angry? Everything perfect? Not possible, never was, never will be!
3 - All men were ummm not men anymore. They were all some weird effeminate walking creatures.
4 - Samantha offers him "a body". A real woman named Isabella who is really lovely and very pure. I couldn't believe it when he rejected her. He probably thought that he was cheating on his software. OMG! This really angered me! Whatever the reason it was, I was still angry when I saw that he ditched Isabella! I was hoping that the movie ended with Theodore marring either Isabella or a physical version of Samantha (her soft uploaded into a clone or something) or what the heck, marry both of them. LOL! Neither! The movie ended with him all alone and pathetic.
5 - The movie was almost over and I was still hoping that they did something about Samantha's appearance but they didn't. I couldn't believe it that the entire movie just finished and that so called AI, never even had a face. Why didn't Theodore ask Samantha to visualize herself for him, ask her to build a random CGI body and face so that he could see "her" on his phone as well as hear "her". I just couldn't believe it how primitive this was. What is this? 70s, 80s mentality again? Never heard about CGI????
6 - I gotta admit that I was also hoping for the AI to materialize in some clone human body or maybe a damn robot machine where he could upload Samantha. Nope, they didn't even make a CGI model of the AI on his phone, let alone materialize... :)))))
7 - Why didn't he call Element Software to ask them about a refund for his stupid soft? He could have also sued them for hurting his feelings with their stupid unstable soft that ditched him :) Was it even supposed to do that?
8 - OS1 individual initialization was short and stupid. It couldn't have known what to offer to Theodore just from 3 questions yet it managed to offer him "Samantha" an AI that made him fall in love with "her".
9 - I've already overheard the 13 billion evolution thing too often in movies lately. It's becoming quite boring and annoying actually. We're all the same, we're all 13 billion old matter. It doesn't matter I'm software and you're human, I can still love you, plus 641 others.... This just proves that love is only a biological thing, a human thing given to us by God, and Samantha the AI wasn't really capable of showing real love, yet we're told fairy tales about big bangs. Whatever!
Ummm there are just too many minuses to this movie. I'm gonna stop here, I guess that's enough, at least I described the huge issues with these movie.
