That movie really irritated me. I may have been totally misreading it, but for the first 2 hours and 15 minutes it seemed like it was telling us that technology has a limit, and that we shouldn't go past that limit, because it would be cruel. However, the last 15 minutes make me feel like it's a *good* thing to go past that limit, because everything will work out for the best. I'm still not sure what the point of the movie was. In my opinion, it would have been much more powerful if they just ended it after he jumped off of the building (if the moral was actually the first one that I mentioned). And what's with those stupid alienrobots?
