Movies worth watching

There will be spoilers below. At first watching this film, there is a sense of inconsistency. In some places, the technology is very developed, and in some places, the technology is obviously very low. For example, the video taken by the drone is very blurred, and the drone cannot fire weapons. Stop the violence, and it feels like it's the best thing to do with the kind of technology in the movie. Looking back slowly, it gave me the feeling that it was a black-tech superhero movie in the future world. The male protagonist was implanted with a chip and became a super human. Looking at it, I felt that the film was just like that, mainly because of the sense of disobedience at the beginning, and the whole drama was played as the director said. Until I saw that the chip AI locked the male protagonist into a virtual world, and the human body I owned was finally upgraded, the sense of violation of the previous technologies was all understated. In fact, the plot is very easy to guess. When the male protagonist was looking for hackers, many people were playing with AR equipment and the male protagonist dreamed that he was lying in bed. In fact, when the female protagonist was not dead, he thought that the chip AI could completely control the male protagonist's thoughts and let him always dream. In fact, I feel that this is the best ending for the male protagonist. People are a mixture of memories and emotions. We will feel inferior, sad, angry and even crazy. Everyone wants to live in a world without pain, but in the movie AI still wants to be a person and have a body. For AI, he is born virtual. The only goal he pursues is reality. If it were you, what would you choose? Is it to live in a dire real world or to be flawless? What about virtual worlds? In fact, neither of these two choices is wrong. As long as you decide your own life, your own beliefs dominate your choices. No one will blame you for avoiding or facing them. You are responsible for yourself.

    The era of cyberpunk accuses, the current trend of R-rated evil interest. A movie with a good degree of completion, but it is hard to find surprises and shocks just by watching too many similar movies. PS: It is best not to report too high expectations before watching. Of course, the theme of "Black Mirror" is undoubtedly, the audio-visual flashes of "Guardian of Jupiter", the ending is more like the "complete" version of "Ex Machina", and there are some shadows of sci-fi short films. The director is used to writing horror films, but the horror elements are not reflected much, but the action elements are pleasing to the eye-the AI ​​action setting in the film is a highlight. The lens is mastered more rhythmically, and the details processing has both advantages and disadvantages. The plot and reversal play smoothly, and the characters and ending are a little rushed.
