Review of Blame!

Blame! (2017)
7/10
Mad Max Beyond Skynet

Warning: Spoilers
Inside a giant 3D-city regulated by an AI-system that is trying to exterminate humans, a mysterious stranger of the Mad Max-type (named 'Killy') meets a desperate and isolated pocket of human survival. He is looking for humans with a certain type of gene which would enable them to reassert control over the AI. The villagers don't know what he's talking about. They have lost this technology such a long time ago that they cannot even imagine humans ever controlling the AI. They thought these were just stories. They have also lost the technology to reproduce the weapons and gear they need for survival, however, so they've become desperate enough to join and assist Killy on a mission. On this mission, they find a 'scientist'. A synthetic human (robot) that has memories of the technology Killy is talking about. She might know a way to reconnect to the AI.

'Will they succeed?' is the question this movies revolves around.

It's a cool premise, I think. A good world to set a story in. In my opinion it doesn't play out that good, unfortunately, but it's entertaining enough. The visuals i liked. If you've seen 'Knights of Sidonia', it's by the same guys and girls, and looks and feels similar.
