'Her' movie - no spoilers


Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen it?

From the trailer, it looks like a pretty cool/important movie, but something I can't define creeps me out. I've heard some people love it while others have walked put of the cinema. Do you guys have an opinion on this movie?

(NB I'm currently writing a story involving AI and I'm thinking Her might be important since its that genre etc. but like, is it any good?)

...It appears nobody has an opinion.

I feel bad since you keep posting questions I can't answer... I haven't seen all the Writing Excuses episodes, and I'm usually pretty detached from modern movies. Have an apologetic waffle.

 

If you're looking for other works of fiction featuring AIs, I can point you towards I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. Those are all written by the three most influential sci-fi writers of the 20th century, show if you haven't read them all I'd definitely recommend doing so.

Well I don't know how spoilery this is but the film explores a romantic relationship with an AI, which includes almost everything a traditional romantic relationship includes... It is a really good film that I thoroughly enjoyed but was definitely quite awkward in some scenes.

Thank you :) I wasn't trying to guilt trip anyone or anything, I'm actually just surprised that I didn't get a single reply in 24 hours from here. The Writing Excuses board is pretty quiet, so that didn't surprise me, unfortunately I guess, but this board it usually more active. But hey, if it gets me sympathy points and waffles, all good, right?  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:  :)

I see why that could be really weird and awkward....thank you for your honest opinion! :)
