As Joshua (John David Washington) grows fond of the small Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), an extremely advanced robot, Edwards questions whether the robots are exactly like Robocop and Terminator or, on the other hand, like A.I. - Artificial Intelligence. These are good reflections in an excessively long movie but once again show how the director and writer knows how to tell good stories and create impactful worlds."
