T.I.M.

I don't understand the poor reviews of this, I thought it was a well made film and much better than a lot of the Netflix originals I've seen recently. The storyline is good and never felt bored although it was predictable.

The acting is not the best but what do you expect with a low budget Netflix original film?

There are Some interesting ideas about AI and technology in you think about AI and the role of technology in our private lives. It's Not exactly a pure sci-fi film so it's not going to go too much into detail regarding technology but more thought provoking than anything.

I would say this is worth watching.

As a software engineer and an AI engineer, I found this movie funny and frustrating. They clearly had zero technical advisory on this movie. I hope people are smarter than to believe this garbage. It's not how AI tech works or will work. The Creator, or Robin Williams' Bicentennial man, is much more along the lines of how AI will progress. Provided we don't allow meglomaniacal psychopaths to train them. They're like children. If you abuse them, they will grow up and become bad. If you nurture them, they will grow up good. Do some research, understand the tech before you make a movie about a killer robot. But hey what do I know. 🤷🏻

Abi Campbell is employed by at a cutting edge robotics company where she works on T. I. M. The 'Technologically Integrated Manservant'... basically a human looking robot that does household tasks and is fully integrated into its owner's computer systems. She has moved to a remote rural home, hoping that away from London her husband Paul is less likely to keep straying. Their new hi-tech home comes with a T. I. M. Both a perk and a condition of her job. It appears to be very helpful but Paul doesn't like having it in the house; is he worried that T. I. M. Will make it harder for him to carry on with the neighbour or is there something genuinely sinister about their robotic servant?

I thought this was a pretty solid science fiction film even if the concept of humaniform robots in the home is hardly original; I couldn't help being reminded of the film 'Ex_Machina' and the TV series 'Humans' and 'Better than Us'. It is somewhat predictable but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining. Georgina Campbell impresses as Abi and Eamon Farren is delightfully creepy as T. I. M., firmly positioning the robot in uncanny valley even before its behaviour becomes obviously suspect. Most of the action takes place in the house and the surrounding countryside or occasionally the works; this provides an excuse to keep the cast fairly small. Most of the time things are merely creepy but there is occasional, effective action. The denouement is okay but not much of a surprise. Overall a decent if minor addition to this genre.

Yeah it might seem a little low budget in places. The acting could be better as a whole, but really to me tim was an interesting movie. Abi works as a biotech engineer and is working on a special A. I program. Paul her husband's works as a human and the marriage between them is not great. I also don't think the actors had very good chemistry. Well one day they get a present. A brand new T. I. M bot that will do everything for them. It isent long though before cracks show and the end up wanting to get rid of him. It has a good pace and was pretty good all the way to the end. It was shocking and overall an alright thriller.

I really hoped that this would explore A. I in a different way to most of the A. I films that have been produced .Sadly this film has No memorable features or twists in its storyline and runs along very similar paths to all the other A. I films. It is very obvious from the start just how this story is going to play out and the writers are so lazy they don't try to either cover it up or attempt to add any mystery whatsoever to the storyline so you can basically predict 99% before it occurs! Rendering the film quite boring to be honest. The only thing I salvage from the many A. I films is the question just how realistic are the varying possibilities and is mankind taking technology towards its ultimate destruction?
