What Happens
We watch a girl with a cybernetic eye playing with a toy robot as a man on TV talks about consciousness and self. We cut to a couple of angry drunks outside, shooting at bottles and cats. We then cut to a man building a computer interface to a pulsing, living blob. Soon, all three of these groups combine in a very dangerous way…
Commentary
This is really neat and really weird. It’s got that whole futuristic cyberpunk grittiness, but the characters are all relatable and believable. The special effects here are mixed; the CGI fly is pretty awful, but the flesh computer and what it does toward the end are pretty good. The film is ten years old, so it can get by with the fly thing.
It’s quite good!
