Implanted

I had to stop after the first 15 mins ..... Fabien Dufils' depiction of Sarah (Michelle Girolami.) didn't grip me in anyway ... we are dropped in at the deep-end in a totally unbelievable scenario. Ha Fabien gone with a B movie format it would have been a least funny.

The agonizing suffering of the protagonist victim is shared by the viewing audience sitting through constant long takes of her melodramatic portrayal of extreme distress of mind and body. She does a decent job but its way too dragged out and the pacing is tortuously trying. The run time could've been cut in half. The plotline is not new, pretty much the same as 'Echelon Conspiracy' and 'Eagle Eye', etc. - may've even used the same voice for the female AI. Interesting display of the words on a computer news screen collage referencing the plot connection to the plandemic. Features brutal murder including stabbing and close range gunshots to the head.

Am finding the overly positive reviews here very misleading....and wrong.

This isn't an original theme, but is handled in a so-so manner, I'm not saying I could do better with the budget, but there are other movies that carry the theme better. Take Upgrade for example, that covers the AI to human takeover in a far more dramatic fashion and is well executed.

Implanted is rather pedestrian in its storytelling and I think it could have been made with half of the 01:35:00 runtime. I presume budget constraints were the reason as to why this has such a slow pace.

I'm not going to slate this movie, because it unfolded the tale to a fairly obvious conclusion, so would have gotten a higher score if the ending went the way I wanted it to, but should be rather obvious once you see it for yourself.

The lead carried her role well and her supporting cast did the best they could, given the scripting.

Implanted will not blow you away and does portray our fears of wearable AI's in a half decent way, it just needed faster pacing and tighter scripting to keep the audience engaged.

If you have an hour and half and want a slow story to keep you mildly entertained, this is it, but look elsewhere if you want high octane thrills - in other words it's watchable and I have seen far, far worse than this. We only need to look at some of Bruce Willis' latest movies to demonstrate that point.

After watching this, I really want to revisit Upgrade now!!

I watch it till end but it was a hopeless case. I can assure that all these high reviews are extremely biased. Don't waste your time.

A film about A. I. taking control of humans.

The A. I. in this film mainly uses punishment to force humans to comply. The real A. I. all around us today uses the far more effective reward/punishment combo to get us to voluntarily join and obey its desires.

Google, Twitter, Tik-Tok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Roblox, et.al. Are all followers of this A. I. strategy. All use A. I. to get us to do as they wish by entertaining us at the same time. Disobey their opaque, ever changing rules and punishment swiftly follows.

The most effective brain-worms would infiltrate these companies and use them (and their A. I.) to push the brain-worm agenda while canceling users that aren't brain-wormy enough.

Not that any of these companies are packed with foreign agents...
