I hate this genre of bullshit cautionary tales.  maybe someone should make a cautionary tale about bullshit cautionary tale movies killing everybody in a fake future.

i felt like i didn't even see a movie. i will probably never think of it. i knew very little walking in. i had no expectation to see a robotic bruce willis with weird hair and an obvious stunt double in quick moments of dialogue and action immediately followed by another moment of action in an awkward stilted manner similar to the way i've written this sentence. i did not expect to see ving rhames as a dreadlocked revolutionary named the Prophet, nor did i anticipate the humorous scenes of malfunctioning robots and the histrionic monologues about the rebirth of humanity!!!! then it ends. so neatly. thick heavy social commentary about our cultural dependence on technology and consequent detachment from our selves and each other. and lots of expository dialogue so you don't forget what the fuck's happening. glad i only paid a dollar!

I'm pretty sure I have never heard of this movie until just this moment.
