Let me guess.

[Show spoiler]The robot was created and programed by her Father or Husband.

Does it sound a bit like it was written by AI?

This movie looks like it cost $100m at least.

You've got a sci fi action movie, with flying robots and tons of special effects. What makes you want to cast Jennifer Lopez in the lead for this? Even at her peak of being a movie star she really only did romantic comedies. She was never an action star and now she's 54.

Maybe this will be good. I have my doubts. But these are the kind of projects that the head of Netflix film needs to cut down on.

Yeah, strange choice for the lead. I thought J Lo was OK in The Cell and that’s more of her type of role, IMO. She’s still fun to look at though.

As for Netflix? They crank stuff out like a widget factory. This won’t stop.

Looks like a sequel to Robot Jox.

Maybe after Shotgun Wedding & The Mother she's trying to reinvent herself as an action star? Stranger things have happened.

Anyhoo, looks big & shiny & action-packed. Being a Netflix movie I fully expect it to be at least half an hour too long & badly paced, but I'll give it a watch, even if I'm already a bit tired of the 'AI is evil' thing.

The AI is evil thing is already old. Blah, blah, blah. Cameron handles this for us with the excellent Terminator 1 and 2 films. A few other good AI based films have also come out but I think were good.

AI is simply a tool we can use to improve some things in day to day life. Thats all. Anyone scared of losing their job to AI needs a better job. Sorry, gotta be said.

Not Another J-Lo Streaming Movie.

What a shock! .

But, well, yeah. Not sure about this. Plot sounds mega-generic. Who knows though, some day whilst taking a longer than normal dump I might que up the first few mins just to see.

Does Netflix actively try to make the most generic films possible?
