Absolutely HATED IT!!! Love to hear other opinions....

Man i totally agree with you with your opinion this film deeply disturbing for me. If this is a glimpse of a future then we are doomed on so many levels and i am grateful that i will never live in that world.

Its been a long time since i felt like i "hated" a movie, but this one i did.
The concept itself, is so ridiculous, but still the movie could have been directed much better. For example, the concept of 'Inception' is ridiculous, a collective dream-within-a-dream...just hogwash, but the story was entertaining and engaging.
zhere, when Scarlett is speaking, every word made me cringe, because its a program pretending to be and feel like its human, when its not. FAKE, FAKE, FAKE and nonsensical, my mind was screaming throughout, and i violently wanted to slap Joaquin's character out of his trance that he was delving into.
Transformers, again, a movie with just *beep* for a concept, machines actually 'feeling' like biological creatures, but i actually liked the storyline and the effects tremendously. I am a fan. But Transformers dont take it too far into ridiculousness, but if a transformer asks me, like if Agent Smith asks Neo, that life has no meaning, there is no soul that you have, and that machines are people too, i would bitch-slap the bolts and processors out of that thing.
Wasnt there a study done, where people were asked if they wanted their robots in the future to be more like human, or more like robots but helpful, like that Robin Williams character in Bicentennial Man. The way Scarlett's voice was sounding needy and like on perpetual pms really made me want to throw the TV out of the window, but i wouldnt do that because i will get arrested, and its stupid.
But i really hated the concept that this movie is trying to shove down our minds throat, that humans and things are the same. *beep* you, sir.

It seems you are only taking the movie at face value. It is about a lot more than just the guy falling for an OS. Why take offence at that anyway, it's not condoning it, if anything the story is agreeing with you that it's not a good thing because all the OS's leave at the end anyway.

It works on a lot of levels, yes one of those is a comment on where technology might be going (not that there's anything wrong with that - going by your logic I guess you must "HATE" all sci-fi then?) but it's also a very clever and observant study on human feelings and love in general. I'm sure most watchers have worked that out. Like a lot of movies, the initial premise becomes a vehicle with which to explore more varied and far deeper ideas.

I didn't hate it, actually I was surprised I enjoyed it. I agree thought that it was bizarre how everyone just accepted his "relationship" with an OS so easily. The one exception was his ex wife, who made the most sense in this film. I think that was intentional, she was his voice of reason.

I actually found the scenes entertaining in an amusing way, especially the scene where he masturbates to the OS. I'm pretty certain it was meant to be humorous in a way.

I thought it was a great film, but the ending sucked. I would have goven it a 9, maybe a 9.5 for me. Acting was great, story was great although Samantha was a bit too emotional for A.I.
I just really did not like how they ended it, it ruined it for me, so that brings it down from a 9 to an 8 for me.

Sounds like you hated the IDEA of the movie more than the movie itself... but, you knew what the movie was going to be about before you watched it, surely?

I don't how you could hate this movie. Maybe "hate" what you think may be the future, but this movie is very original and it is amazing how the OS - Scarlett - seems so real and yet you never see her - but you could somehow "see" her more than any of the other actors, and you wanted her presence more than anyone else. And the great thing was that all the things that happen in relationships between two people - jealously, wanting not to commit, getting upset - happened in what would be considered something that would not be personal - a man and an OS - and it became more personal than a person. Scarlett's other movie, which you probably won't like either, because as you say this was too bizarre - well, Under the Skin was really bizarre and fantastic. And you can appreciate the irony in that movie as well.

Maybe you cringed because you put yourself in his shoes, instead of just viewing it.
