The irony of using AI for a movie that revolves around artistry and creation is laughable at this point.
Apparently they also had to use AI to correct some of the actors’ accents, Adrien Brody included. So… do you really qualify to be the “best actor” if you had technological assistance to make your performance sound better?
Also, they apparently used AI to build some of the architectural models in the movie. It’s lazy and boring in my opinion.
I loved the movie but was so disappointed when I found out they used AI and what they used it for.

About a decade ahead of its time. Beautiful production design, amazing score, and a great reminder that all the technology in the world won’t save us from loneliness or replace our collective human need for each other!! Still can’t see something about AI/GenAI without immediately thinking of this.

Went to see this at Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn on 35mm. Figured I’d go check it out cause I wasn’t familiar with it and it has Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, two of the most commanding actors to ever grace the screen.
One of the most bizarre, but entertaining movies I’ve ever seen. It almost feels like a parody of the y2k/cyberpunk/police procedural movies in the post-irony era, but it’s so hammy that it manages to charm you over by the end.
Russell Crowe basically plays mecha-evil incarnate. In one scene, he holds a rave hostage and makes them scream in certain octaves so he can orchestrate and remix the sounds on a soundboard like a DJ. That’s somehow not the craziest thing that happens in this film, but it’s the coolest.

all i’m saying is i’d hate to be in a cool competition with her
1. she has the coolest style
2. she has the best taste in movies
3. she had a letterboxd before it was cool
4. she is multi-faceted: actor; comedian; writer director; producer
at the ripe age of 29 her IMDB list is so impressive and she’s just getting started. she’s so cool and funny and i want to be her friend.
