Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 5029066, member: 7894"] Watched "Life Like" several days ago. Strange one. Addison Timlin and some guy I was unfamiliar with are a young married couple living an idyllic life in (I'm assuming?) NYC, using his allowance from his ultra rich family. Dad suddenly dies, apparently there was no one else, so son inherits the mansion in the country and the business. He's off to work, sort of getting baby sat by the board members. She feels weird having several staff wait on her, so she gives them 2 years severance pay and fires them all. The house is way too much for her to do everything herself, hubs is kinda irked, so lo and behold his company had a secret division where they were developing extremely human looking robots. They go to the secret HQ, look at a few models and pick one out. It was Steven Strait, but I didn't even recognize him. At first she doesn't like the robot, but then she gets it be in a book club just the two of them. Hubs is busy and distracted. Robot starts displaying more and more human like emotions. Hubs is kinda jealous, but likes to establish his dominance. Things get pretty weird. Then there is a humdinger of a twist at the end that changes your perspective on everything that happened during the rest of the movie. I more or less liked it. I'm a big fan of Addison. This movie included more bare male backside, and other sides, than any movie I've ever seen before. I could've done without that. If you've wondered what Steven Strait looks like without clothes on, this is the movie for you. Plus the other actor I was previously unfamiliar with. Anyway treads some familiar territory with the ethics of A.I. and humanoid like robots, but different enough from what I've seen before. Here's the spoiler if you don't want to watch the movie: [SPOILER="spoiler"]The robots weren't robots at all, they were humans. The "inventor" was an insane dude who had somehow acquired several orphans at young ages and systematically brainwashed them into believing they weren't human, and that their purpose was to fulfill the whims of their owners and their creator.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
