Nel prossimo futuro, la Zona 414 è una colonia di robot umanoidi all'avanguardia creati da Marlon Veidt, un ossessivo magnate. Quando la sua figlia ribelle scompare, questi assume l'investigatore privato David Carmichael per riportarla a casa. Per rintracciare la ragazza scomparsa, David si unisce a Jane, un'intelligenza artificiale avanzata, dotata della stessa tecnologia dei suoi compagni umanoidi e consapevole di sé, con tutte le emozioni, i sentimenti e sogni di un essere umano. Muovendosi attraverso la pericolosa giungla di ferro, i due mettono rapidamente insieme i pezzi del puzzle per risolvere il mistero ma scopriranno un crimine che li porterà a mettere in discussione le origini della Zona 414 e il vero scopo dietro la "Città dei Robot".
My quick rating - 5.5/10. All you are really going to say at the end of this is "I have seen Blade Runner already." Aside from the obvious inspiration, though, this really isn't terrible (apparently it more resembles some Issac Asimov book, which I also haven't read called "The Naked Sun"). Guy Pearce plays the detective who is hired to find some eccentric corporate raider's daughter, played very well by Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz. To do so, he must go into zone 414, which is the only place that the humans are not allowed to live. This doesn't turn out to be quite as straightforward as he has planned and ends up entrenched in a mystery of what or who people are (robots, AI, all play a big role here). Pretty much the entire cast helps pick this movie up, since even though the story had potential, they just couldn't quite fully hash it out coherently. I just don't think in the end they set out to finish this in the way they did, for whatever reason. The movie does look quite good and gives that cyberpunk dystopian world its own personality. Everything seems very drab with little hope. The future apparently is going to be very dark, all the time, if we are to listen to movie predictions. The action scenes are well shot and don't rely on cuts and fast editing too much to spoil it. I would put it above average and it is a good watch for sci-fi fans, especially if you liked those late 80s flix that flooded the VHS market for a while.
