Well written film review, thank you very much.

There is an oversupply of bad films, as always the gems are a rarity, aren't they? Especially when the scriptwriters follow the zeitgeist superficially rather than using it as an opportunity to tell a truly accomplished story.

I would immediately subscribe to the weaknesses you give the film. The fascination with artificial people replacing real people is very old, certainly well over two hundred years, I suppose. The classic film on this subject is probably still "Blade Runner".

Incidentally, I don't think much of the apparently fashionable gloominess of films. Depressing final messages are of course allowed (and there are plenty of good films with a non-happy ending). But what the abundance of new films seems to be saying to me is: "Guys, there's no point. The world is bad, just give up."

On the other hand, as much as the image of the superhero has been and is exaggerated, I think the image of the depressed future man is just as exaggerated. But if the stylistic device of exaggeration is well realised, there's never anything to be said against it. If you want to write good scripts, I think you need a lot of life experience. Bad film scripts seem to represent little of it.
