Life Like

Less than 20minutes in, and I couldn't stand Sofie. Did they have to make the character so selfish and self centred? She spoilt it for me because from then on I was biased by her character and barely concentrated on the rest of the movie objectively.

If anything, this movie really makes you think about humanity in an unconventional way. The plot, although not without its flaws, is intriguing and original. I for one enjoyed the ending, although it could have been made more believable with some minor plot devices and addition of some small scenes (read the spoiler reviews if you want to know more).

The main characters were all certainly eye candy, and although their dialogue was a bit stilted at times, all actors did a commendable job. Particularly enjoyed the performance of Steven Strait, which was integral in tipping this film into the territory of a quality watch. No one can play an android with the panache of Michael Fassbender's David, but I think Strait did an admirable job.

You will encounter one of the most annoyingly written characters in Sofie, but if you can get beyond that, this is actually a very solid philosophical sci-fi. Certainly ranks much higher than its current rating of 5.4.

I enjoy this movie but his girlfriend character got on my last nerves with the needy attitude and controlling ... if you can look beyond that than the movie is good.

This was quite an intriguing watch, all the way up to the last 10 minutes when the plot twist came. I don't want to say what it was, but I will say it is completely without logic and just made me think, 'are they having a laugh?' it was so ludicrous and makes the previous hour and 15 minutes seem like a waste of time.

Life Like asks the same question all people ask themselves but it does so, from a different perspective.

This is a thoughtful, intriguing little film, that reminds us rather subtly of how we take what and who we are, very much for granted.

Acting is decent and the main character Henry is portrayed with a calm, endearing charm that keeps you watching.

There's an interesting twist in the end too I did not see coming. 6/10 from me.
