TAU (2018) S: Maika Monroe, Ed Skrein, Gary Oldman -- Netflix

Tau follows a once street-smart grifter, Julia (Monroe) who is the latest victim kidnapped and held captive in a fatal experiment. The only thing standing in the way of her freedom is Tau, an advanced artificial intelligence developed by Alex (Skrein), her captor. Tau is armed with a battalion of drones that automate a futuristic smart house. Tau's potential is only limited by his understanding of the world he exists in, but Tau is ready for more. Julia, showing resourcefulness and courage, must race against time to bridge the boundaries between man and machine, connect to Tau and win her freedom before she suffers the same fate as the previous subjects.

Maika Monroe AKA: “Hey is that a Brie Larson? No, no. It’s not her.”

I like Maika Monroe. And she looks nothing like Brie Larson.

So anyone actually watch this?
Edit: well I started it. This is gloriously early 1990s HBO Friday Night movie grade schlock. It's terrible in a watchable way. It's a movie version of that Simpsons episode with Pierce Brosnan as the HAL/Demon Seed house.

I did...I almost shut it off. Glad I didn't as I ended up liking it after a very slow start. Reminded me of Ex Machina for some reason but with the roles reversed if that makes any sense. The CGI wasn't that great which hurt quite a bit.
Not a bad little time waster I guess.

I wish I HAD shut it off. What an incredibly boring movie that sets upon a predictable course and never deviates. I was hoping some sort of unexpected twist would redeem it, but no. It ends exactly as you expect it to about 20 minutes in.

It wasn't good, but I didn't wind up regretting the time sink.

I thought this was a nice slow-burner.
My complaint is the anticlimactic ending...should have had more of a twist.

Watched 30 minutes and bailed... another stinker on Netflix, IMO.
