AIMEE: The Visitor

This is barely a movie honestly, because its length is only 69 minutes. It moves quick because it has to, it has sub par acting, you can clearly see the actors doing their work, simply acting, but not at the proper level, the lack of experience is easily noticeble.

It has a good feel about it, even tho clearly not an original movie, AIMEE smells freshly baked with a good taste overall. But as said before, I couldn't really take it seriously at that length so I just rolled with it and tried to enjoy it.

Is this recommandable? Well, if you're a fan of The Outer Limits or The Twilight Zone, I'm sure nostalgia with kick in and will make for a plesant view. If you decide not to watch it, I can't say you'll miss much.

It's a cute little movie that I think deserves a one time watch, because the people involved here really tried.

Overall I honestly think those 69 minutes of movie worked for it, because instead of over stretching, it stuck to what it had to show, in the most entertaining way possible without boring the viewer.

Cheers!

This movie has a unique story but it's a pretty good one of computer program gaining its own will and fainting love with its user.

This movie tied in some pretty good ideas that were rather cool of artificial intelligence getting out of control.

This is a low budget film and I don't think anyone who's into these types of movies expects some high end theatrical production.

The effects and visuals were quite good for a low budget film like this. While the film is short and the ending isn't so great it gets its point across.

There are moments in the film that seem like they could have been left out but there are a lot of good moments that make the movie enjoyable.

The movie touches on the drawbacks of AI as the main character who is a hacker by trade becomes drawn to one. He is a shut-in and spends all his time indoors playing video games. A handsome enough guy - and attracts/gets involved with a female friend who does work for him part time. Aimee is the AI who gradually infiltrates his life and begins to turn things upside-down. Ultimately, human ingenuity needs to trump technical know-how in order for the characters to survive. I appreciated that the main character was flawed and kind of a douche. He is not a victim; he brought it onto himself. The movie has a retro visual style reminiscent of the Troma movies of the 1980's. A fun movie for a Friday or Saturday night w/ friends.

I'm going to say this is one of the better recent movies to delve into this topic. The human characters stayed with me for awhile afterwards. You've got a shut-in Hacker, self-absorbed narcisist. That's our main character (flawed, which I like). He has two friends that he subcontracts to do his bidding. Then he loads and opens some trial software that brings a beautiful AI woman into his world (albeit she is only on his OLED display screen). Thus Aimee is born. Human lives become endangered as Aimee becomes more emotionally involved with the lead character. The acting, sets and premise are all good. Faith West is very good and should work more. I recommend this as something different than the Hollywood norm.

With no knowledge of this film or what it was about but seeing as it was the latest film by beloved acclaimed director Charles Band, and having viewed several of his films in recent years. Had some expectations of just solid entertainment.

Although the cover art looks relatively cheap, the overall quality of the film is watchable and not overly low budget. The special effects aren't terrible as the design of the AI character of AIMEE looks good, as do the background scenes.

The story is intriguing as while watching we are interested in where it is heading. Most of it is quite predictable but there is still some thrills and suspense to be had. Considering the subject matter, most would expect some skin to be shown. Although we don't see the character of AIMEE shed but there is an extended scene with the lead female Gazelle (Faith West- possibly a star in the making. Be on the lookout for her).

What makes this film worthwhile is the runtime being quite short as things move quite quickly. Although in the end, not everything seems to be answered such as who was behind the hacking of the AIMEE. Was expecting a reveal of sorts.

Perhaps these artificial intelligence sci-fi films will become more if a trend and they are highly entertaining. Overall decent film. Expect it to be more popular in the coming months.
