Director Steve Bannon Stepped Off the Then Trendy "Music-Video" MTV Stage, where He Married Music and Images for the Best of the Bunch. Michael Jackson, etc.
Deciding to See What He Could Do with a Feature Film.
What Resulted was this Highly-Entertaining One-Off of the Emerging Consideration of Just What Impact These New-Fangled Electronic Machines Called "Personal Computers" (PCs) would or could Do and the Impact of such an Exponential Growth of Capabilities and Functions.
He Blended a Triangular Rom-Com Scenario where the 3rd Person is an Inanimate Machine.
Sci-Fi Literature is Ripe with Computers, Robots, and Machines becoming "Sentient'' and Wreaking Havoc of Varying Degrees...
Issac Asimov's "I Robot" (1950), Phillip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (1968), of Course Made into the Film "Blade Runner" (1982), and there was a "Twilight Zone" Episode from 1964 Titled "From Agnes - With Love".
But it's Accurate to Say that Bannon's Film and Story was Existential at the Time with the Avalanche of PC's Becoming Available and Affordable for "Desk-Tops" Everywhere. So the Core of the Story has Precedence, it's the "Now" that is "New".
The Movie has Many Layers that Make Up the Romp. Some are Romantic, Sweet, and Fluffy.
Filled with Endless "Songs" and Music, but the "Upbeat" is Invaded by some Nasty, Unsettling, Horrors, and Thriller Tropes.
From this Forgotten Entry in the AI Genre to "Johnny Mnemonic" (1995) to "Her" (2013) to Spielberg's "A. I. Artificial Intelligence" (2001) there are No Shortage of Films that Could be Included in the "Cyberpunk" Genre. This is One of the Earliest of its Type.
A Solid Movie that Fits Comfortably with those Others Mentioned, and it Brings Along its Own Charm and Entertainment and Should Not be Over-Looked.
For Nerds, Computer Geeks, and Sci-Fi Fans, it's a Must-See/
For All Others, it's...
Worth a Watch.
