An interesting mishmash of ideas ((although nothing original) badly let down by an inadequate budget and some shockingly leaden acting. The notable exception is Elena Kampouris who is very convincing as an AI slowly developing awareness. Otherwise random shots of Dubai to represent a futuristic city and stock Blade Runner visuals simply reinforce what might have been with more money, a tighter script and better acting. We could also have done without a lot of (not very interesting) exposition.
Watch Ex Machina instead if you want to see how this should be done (although as several reviewers have mentioned, this movie features more lingerie!).
