Amelia 2.0

This is an interesting movie about the potential effects of technology on humans. It's great to see some original subject matter in these days of comic book retreads and franchises! The cast does a fine job and it really does make you think about life and humanity. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This movie is a story of Amelia who lived with her husband but one day bad luck strikes she dies at a young age so a company approaches her husband telling him that they have a way to bring her back.

The story line was good but I don't think people are going to be very impressed after watching this movie because we have encountered many movies with this same kind of stories. The girl who did Amelia could have done a better job cause at some scenes of this movie when she becomes all bubbly she sounds like a retard. But rest of the actors did a good job. The ending was good and unpredictable.

Yes i would ask everyone to give this movie a shot I know you guys have encountered movies like this before.

My Rating 6/10

Amelia has a debilitating illness, her mind works well but her body is quickly becoming non-functional. At the same time a technology company in Cedar Rapids is working on a far out project, the intent is to take a mind like Amelia's and place it into a constructed body. Married only a few months, her loving husband is mostly at a loss for what to do. But convinced it is his only chance to remain with Amelia he signs all the paperwork and the conversion begins.

The science and technology is secondary here, our own logic says this can never happen but who really knows? This movie is more concerned with the ethics of doing something like this. Do we have souls? And would a soul remain with this type of hybrid? Would the far right evangelical politicians move to prevent this type of work? If the conversion is successful would the husband (or wife) be able to accept this new being?

Good watch, it makes you think, and overall it is very well made and acted. At home on DVD from my public library, my wife skipped, not her type of movie.

I thought this was a pretty good film. It wrestles with the question of consciousness and what makes us human. As a drama it delivers plenty of emotionally charged moments that keep you invested in the characters and the story. The acting is believable and well written. I would recommend this movie.

All in all, please just suspend disbelief. Doesn't get into the technical aspects of creating a simulacrum, but instead goes more after the moral implications of doing so. The choices are more on the order of black or white, not really much in between. And leave out the husband. He's there, and not really all that sympathetic, or quite mentally stable. Likely could have been better, but it seems to be more about moralizing than much else. The omnipresent, "if we can do it, should we?"
