This is a lesson to the movie industry on how to use a budget. 80 million dollars was used splendidly. The cinematography was amazing, (Not terribly surprising because Rogue One) acting was great, and the story was decent.
It wasn't without problems though. The story moves at an increasing pace and at some points you lose track of what's happening. Suspension of disbelief will be needed in some moments.
The theme of the story was to make AI to be more than just robots. I think they succeeded there, but at the expense of the humans. Most of the humans in the story ended up being one faced - except for Joshua.
The dynamic between Joshua and Alfie was by far the best part of the movie. The acting was great between the two.
It was a good movie. Not great by any means, but I'm all for supporting a movie that is trying something new.
Overall, I think Gareth Edwards should be given some more projects. AND filmmakers everywhere should learn how a budget should be used.
