- 86%
Critics admired a smart, contained sci-fi thriller that is more interested in artificial intelligence, consciousness and deception than in spectacle. They singled out the restrained visual style, the striking effects behind the robot's design and the isolated modernist setting. Few reservations surfaced in the reviews read.
