Again a special effects driven film in keeping with many new re-run versions of earlier productions of classic films.
Although the original film hasn't the same level of CGI. The story line is more faithful to the book in my opinion and has a more memorable story line. I was disappointed with part one.

After listening to the recent Reith Lectures on BBC channel 4 by Professor Stuart Russel, I was reminded of this film I watch some time ago. Recent reports of Turkish autonomous drones being employed aggressively reminds me about the doubt expressed by some reviewers at the time of the films showing. The development of face recognition particularly by the Chinese authorities to monitor their population, highlights the good and the bad ( from a point of view) possibilities of this technology. The thought of the military development of Hypersonic weapons with intelligent target analysis etc, doesn't lend itself to a future peaceful world, where some demented individual could kick off the next planetary destruction event.
On that note; Have a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to all in 2022.

I was shocked at the violence in Episode one, but then found Devs compulsive viewing. I'm up to episode 7 next, and will be sorry when the series finishes. The Characterisation is superb and the acting is top notch. The concept of an all seeing Quantum Computer is a fascinating one to me as a student of Astrophysics. Well done FX.
