| 1:46 | Incredible that Asimov is still so relevant. |
| 3:12 | Seems like a LOT of change for just 28 years. |
| 9:20 | "Psych eval says she is rigid and hostile." "I prefer driven and determined." |
| 12:18 | "You look old," he says to the woman who hasn't aged in a couple of decades. |
| 20:28 | I'd like more detail as to how the space shield thing functions. |
| 32:13 | So many derivatives and we're only thirty minutes in. |
| 36:39 | "I believe you are 98.5% accurate." Rude. |
| 40:24 | What else can happen to this woman, seriously? |
| 52:52 | “Oh, so you’re in my head and the only thing you learn how to do is curse?” |
| 57:55 | The syncing stuff is creepy, she’s right not to trust it. |
| 1:06:49 | Ah, we are at the point where we discuss who has a soul or not. |
| 1:14:08 | I don’t like Simu being the bad guy. |
| 1:31:00 | These massive robot things do cartwheels now? |

Thoughts
I mean, really. There's very little redeeming about this film, it's derivative of everything you can think of, the visual effects are not the best, and despite what could be a fascinating concept, underneath it's actually pretty dull. Jennifer Lopez does the best she can with some poor material, but Simu is underused massively, and, biased that I am, not in the film anywhere near enough. Hate to jump on the bandwagon of bad reviews, but this one is definitely best avoided.
Rating: 1 / 5
