Point of View:
This seems to be the year for exploring the concept of misbehaving AI.
I’ve got to say that it’s an interesting concept. Many people rely on the likes
of Siri or Cortana to get through the day. What if the answers from these
digital helpers had a sinister ulterior motive? In this era where an increasing
number of items in our day-to-day lives are ‘smart’ – what could happen if the
AIs took control?
While Jexi (2019) is
currently on the big screen showing us a humorous take on that very scenario, A.M.I. has a far more serious tone. I
was really interested in how a straight horror theme would turn out.
It could have been better.
A.M.I. failed to deliver enough
believable punch for me to take it seriously. I was so disconnected with what
was going on that I spent a good amount of the movie marveling on how much Debs
Howard (Even Lambs Have Teeth, Mingle All
the Way, Deadly Match) resembled Debbie Gibson (Rock of Ages, Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark, Summer of Dreams).
I just couldn’t buy into the psycho Barbie-doll main character here.
While there were some good moments within this film, overall it doesn’t
live up to its potential.
