Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
davidnarh Awsome very awsome but the titled could have remain unstylsided
facebook-596-720867 I don't get it. Why do English speaking audiences need inferior remakes of brilliant originals? This is exactly what "Humans" is - an inferior remake of an innovative, entertaining, thought-provoking Swedish original TV-show. It's subtitled in English, no need to remake it with weak actors. Go get your asses up and get yourself the Swedish original.
John Citizen What a great example of excellent sci fi. It has very believable actors,suspense,drama, and William Hurt, who is always brilliant. A very deep and layered show that deals very cleverly with the philosophy of what is the essence of being human and sentient. I can't praise this show enough. Even my wife was hooked after the first episode and that never happens !
Rat_27 I tried very hard to like this show, but it's really just a long chick-flick spread out over 2 seasons. There is very little redeeming about it. I see a lot of other reviews talking about how "heartfelt" the show is, and one person referred to it as a "thought provoking show rooted in reality with believable characters." Then they went on to say "It's human." I don't know if they ate paint chips as a child, or had some sort of oxygen- depriving injury during their formative years, but this is just plain incorrect. The show is about sentient androids. Neither the software, nor the hardware is anywhere close to a reality, so that's wildly inaccurate. I have absolutely no idea which character they think is "believable", so that is clearly an opinion I share no part of. I think the premise is fairly interesting, moreso because of the recent release of Westworld, but the idea of sentient machines has been in our media for a while. So, it's not original, but it tells the story from a unique point of view. However, that point of view is as left field as it can get.This show depicts a man (we can actually barely call him that) who gets replaced by android labor. OK, that seems like it would be an actual "realistic" issue in a world that had a workforce that didn't require sleep, food or pay. One would assume that there would be zero menial jobs, so it is curious that the economy hasn't collapsed, but ... maybe that is TOO realistic for this series. The show anthropomorphizes the androids (which were obviously supposed to emulate humans), but other than this ghost in the code (which is supposed to be impossible), they would actually be the walking toasters that some people treat them as. And why SHOULD that be a problem?Once the androids go rogue, it seems very clear that they are a viable threat. They absolutely should be put down. En masse. Based on the behaviors that they exhibited over the past 2 seasons, I would completely understand the need for Blade Runners once androids start walking among us.The S02 finale depicted the most selfish, arrogant act I have seen on television. I am curious to see the start of S03E01, just to see how they explain it. By all rationale, thousands of people would have just lost their lives. All because of the daughter uploading code that basically destroyed a bunch of property that wasn't hers. But ... feelings.All in all, I think that this show could touch on some really interesting concepts about humanity, but instead it's just another girl power show about pretty people with iPhone charging cables stuck in their butts.
