Blank

I am not a fan of AI and wanted to see how they handled this in the movie. I also like Heida Reed after seeing her in 'Against the Ice'. What a gorgeous creature and she makes a great android. But her lines grew tiresome as she kept repeating them over and over. But that stressed how it might be for a glitchy android. Shelley was good as the tortured writer but the use of the typewriter was anachronistic, but apparently needed as a bridge to the writer's nightmares and subsequent story development. Tedious for the actors and director, and also for the audience, but I guess that was the point.

I spent a lot of time writing a review on this film but apparently Rotten Tomatoes.. by the time I hit the post button it blanked it out. At any rate I will abridge. This film has a modicum in the sense of a story where a human is confined against their will which many movie viewers appreciate. Unfortunately the film does not procure itself in any insightful way. The protagonist does not exhibit what you would expect from someone who has been held for months in confinement with no human contact in just AI. That lack of voltage is the worst thing about this film. The scene flashbacks with her mother are dull. The AI female robot was not believable or creepy in the sense that we have come to expect and films like megan, I Robot and the widely praised ex machina. The story has few turns in it. An hour or more of the film is droll dialogue between the protagonist and the female AI robot. So much could have been done with this, it is a shame, this film leaves the viewer wishing it was over with a half hour to 45 minutes left. Not even a clever ending can redeem this film.

This is not a fast paced movie, but the concept is interesting and it works for the most part. I feel that many movies in the thriller/horror movie genre do not know how to tie up the ending. This one works l.

I stuck with this boring, repetitive movie thinking it just has to get better, but no. Wish I could get the time back that I wasted on this.

Has got to be some of the worst acting I've ever had the privilege of watching. I don't think Ive ever gotten so annoyed at watching an "actor" in a movie. Usually u would expect the robot to have absolutely horrible acting, but she wasn't bad. Storyline unoriginal with Ai r notouobot gon

A great idea turned out to be over 70 minutes of repetive and boring routines with no advancement of the plot. The attempt to link Claire’s life with her book was a failure and the ending was both obvious and absolutely pathetic. How this ever got commissioned is beyond me. I think the movie was probably inspired by Ex Machina which is a far superior film.

interesting, well played

I do love films that are set in limited locations and Blank is a very clever film that reminds us that technology is great, until it isn't great. The performances are great especially its two leads Rachel Shelley and Heida Reed who's chess game of wits is of course the centrepiece of the film. We also are treated to the onscreen envisioning of the book that Claire is writing featuring Helen (played by Rebecca Clare Evans) and Young Claire (played by Annie Cusselle) which have that flashback feeling for the viewer) Beautifully shot and directed, if you are craving for an Ex-Machina type movie, then I do highly recommend Blank. Now I'm now going to turn off all my smart devices in case they lock me in my house!

This movie is what is sometimes referred to as a slow burn, which is a show/movie that has very little story and doesn't know how to add world building or character development material. So instead it's a string of long, boring, drawn out scenes. Characters walking across the set, cars driving down a road, characters staring, and long pauses in dialogue. They are essentially trying to turn a short story into a novel by adding pages and pages of pointless filler material. A story that unfolds slowly can work, but it requires interesting characters and an intriguing premise to make up for plodding along. That is not this movie. This movie is trying to be a metaphor for the writer feeling like there's a script trapped inside their word processor. I think this movie would have been better left inside.

Not blank nor fresh enough, tastes like copy from somewhere but it's enjoyable on a diet. Writing is pretty stressful & spooky too I guess, perhaps you should lie down.
