Consciousness in machines will always be an interesting topic.
Can anyone mention a movie in which consciousness in machines was explained other than it just suddenly happened?
Matrix, Terminator, I Robot, A.I., all these movies never explained how they machines became sentient. They all elaborate in the machines' reaction after the fact.
Explain creatively how they become aware and then elaborate in what actions the machines will take next.
I hope this movie is in that path of explaining consciousness.

This looks like it might have been good if placed in the hands of the right director. As it stands, the actors' inflections are all over the map (which is why the dialog sounds dissonant and student film-y). This usually indicates a director unskilled at working with actors, a director lacking a nuanced grasp of the language he is directing in, or both.

In any case, its a problem.

I wonder if Melanie Griffith recognizes the irony of being in a movie that discusses alterations as a central theme. At any rate, this actually looks more interesting than I anticipated.
