Largely a Ripoff (hate to be so unkind, but) of Hulu's "Humans". Good-looking female android is purchased by a father whose wife is in hospital. Predictably, the father has sex with the (exceptionally good-looking) Robot, blah blah. A decent flick on its own, but since it so closely parallels "Humans", I call it a Ripoff. BTW: "Humans" ran far deeper than this. "Humans" was a story about a nascent Android culture that had become Aware, and had to be dealt with by the human population...reminiscent of Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot". But if you like looking at Megan Fox and you're not familiar with Humans, go for it.

Nick (Michele Morrone) is struggling to care for his two kids while his wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) is in the hospital. He is convinced to buy the latest home robot and names it Alice (Megan Fox). The robot's new AI learning allows it to corrupt its own programming.

This is almost there. It has the general idea. Robots gone bad is not anything new. Quite frankly, it's getting a little cliché nowadays. The most interesting aspect may be putting Megan Fox into the role. Honestly, this may be her best recent work. Still, this movie has all kinds of little problems and I'm not excited to nitpick all of them. Let's just say that this movie needs a few more spins around the rewrite cycle. This is almost good enough to be fine.

The movie's already really bad, as you can read in the other reviews, but the main character actor Michelle Morone turns it into a total train wreck. This is honestly the worst acting I've seen in movies since years. They could have taken any dude from the street, and he would have performed better.

His emotions are just always wrong or all over the place. The moment he see's the sexy robot for the first time, for example, his face just stays blank, nothing happens, absolutely nothing. They must have taken a shot from the scene where he waits for his next line of dialogue. Wooden doesn't even describe his style of acting, it's worse. To be fair, the actress who plays his wife isn't much better. Or his collegue at work, who is not an actor, he's an over actor. These actors make you prefer robots over humans.

Don't even get me started on the script of this train wreck. Doesn't make any sense.

When Maggie ends up in hospital, in need of a newer operation, husband Nick purchases a new synthetic, Alice, to help around the house, Alice however takes her duties a little too far.

It doesn't surprise me that this film has been slated by critics and viewers alike, it's not great, it's definitely been done before, better, and somehow it just feels a little bit dated.

The standout element here, Megan Fox, she does a terrific job as Alice, she is first rate, she certainly looks the part, she's beautiful, but somehow artificial.

Unfortunately there are several flaws, why, oh why did Nick have to pick such a hot looking synthetic, like it was never going to end well, he'd have been better with the grandfather type, Alice's sexual fascination with Nick was baffling.

I honestly kept on questioning if Alice was a human plant or not. One question, if there was such an urgency to get the building finished, why were the workers locked away at night? It makes no sense.

5/10.

That's the movie. Megan Fox is an AI robot. She's actually quite believable as a robot. I don't think they could have casted a better beautiful android robot babe. So congrats.

Also, Michelle Zima is a good actor many folks don't know about. I thought she did well given the awful script and dialogue. People should know she is a good actor and has been doing it for a long time.

Ok, besides that...the movie is pretty bad. It's watchable but that's about it. The plot holes are insanely big, the plot has been done a bunch of times. Actually, there's a great Outer Limits episode from the 90s that's quite good "Valerie 23". It's actually better than this movie.

The flick is watchable, but don't expect much. Megan Fox kicks ass. All the haters can kick rocks....shes an icon. Just enjoy the simple little movie for what it is. An overdone AI psycho robot plot. Works to just sit back and relax. 5.2/10.
