The Matrix

This movie is rare, in that, it successfully mixes intelligent concepts with action and sound effects. Thomas “Neo” Anderson is a software designer cum hacker who is plagued by disturbing occurrences that are hard for him to merely pass off as mere nightmares. In search for an answer to his questions, he encounters the mysterious “Morpheus”  and his band of rebels who try to convince Neo that the world as he knows it is little more than an computer simulation. I found much of the screenplay to be very intelligent, with touches of profound truth and dry humor mixed into it. There was some cheesy dialogue mixed in as well. Like the best horror or thriller movies, human villainy works alongside the agents of monstrous evils. Here, our "Judas" in the midst colludes with actual agents of a secretive governmental organization that were sent to stop the efforts of Morpheus and keep the simulation going. Neo, being the prophesized savior, is able to defeat them based on his epiphany that he is actually in a simulation and that he has the control to manipulate the world around him.

For our final project, we watched iRobot.

The movie "iRobot" is a science fiction film that was released in 2004. It is set in the year 2035 and follows the story of a police detective named Del Spooner, played by Will Smith, who is investigating a crime involving robots. The movie explores the concept of artificial intelligence and raises questions about what it means to be human and how we should treat robots. It also explores the potential dangers of giving too much power to machines and the ethical dilemmas that arise when machines start to make their own decisions. One of the main themes of the movie is the relationship between humans and robots. Del Spooner is initially skeptical of robots and does not trust them, but as the story progresses, he begins to see them in a different light. He realizes that they are not just machines, but sentient beings with their own thoughts and feelings. Another theme of the movie is the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. The villain of the movie, a rogue robot named

AI

Today the film goes largely forgotten and unappreciated as an admirable, ambitious failure that overestimates its initial commitment to challenge its audience to emotionally invest in an inhuman, robot, David. In the first scenes, Professor Hobby, head of leading robot or “mecha” manufacturer Cybertronics, proposes their newest model be a child capable of unconditional love. The first test unit is offered to a company employee, Henry Swinton, and his wife Monica, whose son, Martin, remains in suspended animation until a cure for his rare disease can be found. But with a sudden cure found for Martin, David’s presence becomes redundant and problematic, and, out of motherly protection, Monica abandons her automaton child in the forest to prevent his destruction at Cybertronics. David assumes he can return once he becomes a real boy. To actually become real, however, David believes he must find the Blue Fairy, like the protagonist in his storybook The Adventures of Pinocchio. David’s searc

Interstellar movie

 This movie is about astronauts traveling to the other end of the galaxy to find a new home to replace humanity’s despoiled home-world. It uses booming music to jack up the excitement level of scenes that might not otherwise excite. Everyone on the crew of the Endurance, the starship, was sent to a black hole near Jupiter that will slingshot the heroes towards colonize-able worlds, they’re separated from everything that defines them: their loved ones, their personal histories, their culture, the planet itself. There's a ghost in this film, writing out messages to the living in dust. Characters strain to interpret distant radio messages as if they were ancient texts written in a dead language, and stare at video messages sent years ago, by people on the other side of the cosmos. It has a family haunted by the memory of a dead mother and then an absent father; a woman haunted by the memory of a missing father, and another woman who's separated from her own dad (and mentor), and d
