LOVED the music. LOVED the special effects. LOVED the A.N.I./Norman relationship. The movie started out a little slow for my taste. But once his AI companion was introduced, things really picked up. My absolute favorite part of the film was when he threw the apple into the machine. Being an electronic repair technician myself, it made me giggle a little when the meter and oscilloscope got hooked up to the function generator. But my specific knowledge is probably not the norm. I'm sure all the time machine technicians had a similar reaction while watching the machine get built. Nevertheless, I greatly enjoyed the film. I think the main actor improved tremendously part way through the film. My favorite characters where A.N.I. and Jennifer (you may know her as Jenny), so I was pleasantly surprised to find both were played by the same actress. A.N.I.'s personality made me laugh, which was a nice contrast to the seriousness of the Norman character and the overall tone of the film. I found it to be a great film especially considering the extremely low budget, single camera and almost decade of effort involved. I hope Joel Guelzo makes another film. When he does, I'll be first in line for tickets.
P.S. I've seen some less than stellar reviews about Norman on this app. I'm especially annoyed that people who couldn't be bothered to finish watching the film somehow found the time to leave a bad review for it.
