Auggie

There are many of these 'augmented reality' movies these days. Movies like Anon or She are examples of AI taking over the life and choices of everyday people.

Auggie poses some interesting questions about, AI, it's part in relationships and rudderless lives.

The acting is ok, Richard Kind is good as the aimless retiree in a loveless marriage.

The writing is ok for the first half and then falls away in the second. The character of the daughter I found to be a complete b*t*h. Maybe that was the point.

The colour palette is washed out which nicely characterises the blandness of our protagonists life.

In the end it says nothing about the AI. Instead, Auggie chooses to tell us about the effect on relationships rather than anything more enthralling.

Spooky movie if you think this could be the future! Not too far removed from what is happening in the world of artificial intelligence!

Watching this movie led me to google "self talk voice in my head."

I would enjoy watching more movies that expand on inner speech.

While talking to yourself is often regarded a social no-no, possibly hinting at psychological problems, ongoing research suggests that point of view requires revision.

I enjoyed this film, slow as it was at times. If your a fan of the genre, you will enjoy it too.There is no sex, violence or bad language, but the story is good. I did think it petered out at the end though and seemed to me to end very suddenly and poorly.It was probably mostly a six and a half, but loses a point for the ending.

I don't think it's a terrible movie like some of these reviews but but feels like a low budget version of Spike Jonze's Her but not as inspired or thought provoking.
