It's modern mythology, not a technical look at AI. If you had trouble suspending your disbelief in TRON, don't even bother with this one. It does have some good moments, and if you want to see a computer fall in love, this is much better than DEMON SEED, say. I didn't regret seeing it, but I can't really recommend it. On my scale, it gets a see-it-if-you-were-going-to-anyway. Carl ..!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher
