In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.
The evil AI's plan? Kill the president!
Why does the AI want to kill the president? he has too much unchecked power and bombed village of innocent people in the middle east and the AI told him not to because it could not confirm if there was actually a terrorist there.
How does Shia LeBouf defeat the evil AI? Opening fire at the capitol to cause a panic.
The war in Iraq was ramping up at the time, how was there not rioting at screenings? How is this not a controversial movie?
The acting is not great, but it deserves better than 27% on Rotten Tomatoes when the message of the film is the government does bad stuff and should be persecuted for it
A movie can have a good message and still be bad though.
This is legit the movie I shit on most. I hate it so very much. It's not the plot exactly, it's two things:
-
The tech accuracy is so bad. I won't go into everything but they go out of their way to say shit that doesn't make sense. My favorite example is that the AI is just a big floating orb and they feed it data through infrared, the slowest communication method available. Like they didn't have to say infrared, they chose that.
-
The product placement. Again, a lot of examples but my favorite is how at the end he shows up with Guitar Hero and the kids are like "Yay Guitar Hero that's the best game ever."
