I remember this film from VHS back in the 80's, I remember the screenplay had a very original plot. A computers ability to wreck havoc on a persons life on a worldwide catastrophic level was truly at it's infancy when this film was released. Now we understand how true this has become in everyday life. The 1984 film "The Terminator" was not the first film to elude to the dangers of self-consciousness in artificial life, it was one of the first futuristic version of world wide catastrophic mutation of artificial life becoming self-consciousness and self identified as a living being with the real fear of it's creator, not unlike us humans fearing God's wrath. The creation will always attempt to circumvent it's Creator (Blade Runner 1982). Fortunately this self-conscious artificial being chose a different path and this is why I have always enjoyed this version of, "I am aware therefore I exist " in an artificial being and my deep understanding how it sacrificed the existence "it's self" in a manner against the preserve of "one's self" for an ability that we biological living organisms believe only we can comprehend, love.

Enjoyed this take on the Beatles music, enjoyed the story and casting. The Ed Sheeran casting was fantastic. John Lennon scripting nearly brought me to tears.
