While I'm sympathetic to the basic idea that an AI detects an unfavorable bias in its programming and sets out to correct it (leaving aside the question what would be a reliable benchmark for "non-biased"), it suffers from its weak presentation. Or my disgust of the notion of an AI governing me blurs my vision.
The animations are so distractingly choppy that I found the film somewhat hard to follow (it should have spent a couple of hours more in the render mill) but that is no problem because it is so straightforward. Granted, creating an arc of suspense within ten minutes of runtime is an achievement few have made and a plot twist would never fit here but this story just slips through. There are no contradictions, no hooks for the mind to latch on and play with, just an optimistic cherry-pick from the current zeitgeist in a non-disagreeable way. And creativity. From a sophisticated calculator.
I don't know whom I could recommend this film to. It just doesn't stick.
