Her (2013)
7/10
Way ahead of its time

This movie was produced in 2013, technology was not what it is now as I write this review but what struck me was the accuracy and foresight into something that is not too far away from being available to us now.

The movie follows a lonely recently separated man who works in a company writing special emotive letters for people tend to their loved ones.

He is insular and doesn't seem to mix well in the company of others.

One day he sees an advert for a new operating system that has AI and can change your life. He buys it and using a system like we know as Alexa or similar he is plugged in to this world of having a female assistant who can learn and grow and even have feelings.

This movie throws up all sorts of social dilemmas, like what if we prefer this to actual human contact, what moral issues are there in this , is there loyalty and feelings?

Superb acting, believable situations and a story well told.

Give it a watch, it may become real sooner than you think.
