We are, arguably, entering a time where filmmakers will have to focus on making movies that convey impactful, substantial messages rather than bombard us with stylistic overtures found in movies such as those in, say, the Transformers<\/em> franchise.

One of the many areas where the movie shines is its filmmaking. Throughout the documentary, numerous faces known throughout the tech world show up and give us a look into what, in their scientific opinion, AI is today and what it may be capable of in the near future.
