The only good thing about this movie is that it is laughably silly, but it is intended to be taken very seriously. The bad: what do you get when you put C-listed actors in a movie in which the story requires dramatic acting capabilities? A laughable disaster. These actors have to carry this movie, but they are nowhere near capable, which makes watching this story unfold a headache causing experience. Why? Because there is NO real drama to speak of. NO suspsense either. I really had to struggle to watch it till the very end, because I got so incredibly bored by the lack of any spark or punch.

In the near future, Claire Rivers (Rachel Shelley) is a major fiction writer who is on a schedule and has drawn a blank while her agent and publisher are after her to complete her novel which she hasn't started. She goes to retreat run by AI that specializes in helping writers overcome their writing block. She is greeted by a hologram (Wayne Brady) which links her to the home office to make sure she has what she needs. She also has an AI android named Rita (Heida Reed) who is programmed to help her in whatever way possible. A Code Red Worm enters the system disrupting communication and making Rita resort to her basic functions and she reboots every night thinking every day is the first. In doing so Rita will not let Claire out of the house until her project is finished. Claire suddenly writes about her childhood and in part ties into what is happening with her current situation as food supplies run low. I always love a good story of AI gone bad whether it is HAL, Westworld, or even I, Robot. This one is a two person play done fairly decent as Claire increases her efforts with each passing day. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Right, well the concept of this 2022 sci-fi thriller definitely sounded interesting enough to make me opt to sit down and watch what writer Stephen Herman and director Natalie Kennedy had to offer. Sure, I hadn't even heard about "Blank" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't know what I was in for here, aside from what I had read from the movie's synopsis. Let me just be the first to say that "Blank" is a slow paced and monotonous movie. While the concept idea behind the storyline definitely had potential and sounded interesting enough, then the movie itself was just a bland experience. Nay, a blank experience, get it? The storyline was too slow paced and mundane to provide me with much of any entertainment. So it was good, at least, that the acting performances by Rachel Shelley (playing Clair Rivers) and Heida Reed (playing Rita) were good enough to make the movie somewhat semi-bearable to sit through. And I did manage to sit through the movie to the end, but I wasn't impressed, nor was I particularly entertained. For a thriller, then "Blank" was devoid of anything overly interesting, exciting or thrilling. So it was a rather bland movie experience. And if you sit down to watch "Blank" with the hopes and intentions of being in for a thrill ride, then you'll be sorely disappointed. While I managed to endure this movie to the end, I can honestly say that I am never returning to watch it a second time. My rating of "Blank" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

A good engrossing film spoiled by incomplete end. Although it becomes repetitive, the viewer is hooked to it just to see how it ends. And that is it - The end never happens. The story suddenly ends leaving viewers with no answers at all for dozens of questions that are relevant and obvious for any film - How can an AI operated center stop working, and no one attends to it for one month or even more? What had happened if Claire didn't finish the story - would supplies have all been consumed and she die starving? There is bound to be some human supervisor somewhere keeping tabs on how long the supplies are going to lost and he/ she should have been worried about occupied rooms and should have come enquiring. Whether the novel get published? How was it received by readers? Did she publish it under her mother's name to make amends? Actually, I had thought that the entire Rita's "I cannot open the door till the story is finished" thing is actually the center's method to force Claire to write up the story, to bring anxiety to her, to bring depression to her, so that she is forced to overcome her writer's block. But that was not so. The film just ended.

Makes a person wonder what the future holds. Very dystopian. Excellent. Especially enjoyed the performance of the blind mother. Sent chills down my spine. All the actors were spot on with their characters. Very well cast. The staging and sets were totally awesome and made the film so atmospheric. It is a wonderful British film and deserves to go mainstream. Just goes to show the British independent movie industry is alive and flourishing. Well done to all concerned. It will keep you on the edge of your seats as human battles Artificial Intelligence. A times it looks too close to call and the ending is thrilling. Definitely one to watch.

Have prefered to be waited and courted by the staff of downtown abbey, most of all to know whos superior after all, and dealing with human flesh robots are in forseeable time a utopian reality, so a film made on a lot of will wont work at a lowbudget this film have had.. having studied the human race in a professional careere as a staff nurse, i dont see the misery of being cared for at my latter days by robots at the nursing home, maybe the ones AUTOBAHN sang about in the 70's , all in all this small cast feature crawling at the pace of a butterfly larvae, where the special effected caracters are so out of reach of the vibe of the plot that every hint of belief flies away , and it a boring fight towards the end. Of course the film has a message, and the simple quote is that in the end you will meet yourself in the doorway, with all your past memories and that its more probable youll become like your psychopathic mum when growing up. Its also an essay about loneliness, isolation due to social media digital rather than real living being able to touch , feel and maybe kiss your communication partner. Well im older than the digital age that grew and flew far beyond the reach of my understanding so bear over with a grumpy old man, if youre able to complete viewing this one, then youre probably lonely and depressed. I'm chronicaly so, just a 3, mostly for the main actress.

This film should have been called Writer Blocked and be an episode of an anthology like Outer Limits or Twilight Zone. Then the fact that it only had two ideas the entire length would have made sense and the titles should have been funny. I have no problem with the actors, direction or production values. It was just stretched too much to fill a feature film (much like the lead character should have done). I can't even mention details of the plot because I can't avoid spoiling those two basic premises of the story. Given that it is either one of those Covid-made films or another thing inspired by Moon, the entire cast is one actress and four supporting roles. It really is barebones. Bottom line: it might be entertaining if you are doing something else at the same time. Otherwise it drags a little too long.

We've seen it all before. The AI traps a woman in the house thing. We saw it in The Demon Seed and Vau and a few others as well. In this version of that story they intertwine it with a story of maternal abuse and imprisonment of the the protagonist in childhood. It's an OK film, but that's all. The acting and production values are ok but the action feels padded out and I got rather bored about halfway through. Maybe with a bigger budget and better directing talent it could have been something instead of the bloated short story it is. Stop reading now. Ian padding this review out because I have to write six hundred words.

It's pretty rare that you actually find a movie that you just have no clue where the plot is going and is really unlike any of thousands of other movies you've seen before. There were so many ways the plot could have gone in this movie, but there was no way to predict the way it really would go. Any complaint about the ending is laughably simple-minded since after the path the story followed, the ending is truly a twist that, again, nobody watching this entire movie could predict. You can't stop watching this movie if you believe what's happening, because it's a bit unbelievable. But, if you don't believe it, that means there's some incredible conspiracy going on. And yet, the longer you watch it, the more it goes on down that path you can't believe, the more it just seems like it really will never end, like maybe the truth is something else. So, you keep going back and forth from "it's a conspiracy" to "it's an apocalyptic coincidence" to "is this all in her head???" The poor reviews and low rating of this movie are very predictable, the way most people sadly are, and the way this movie is in no way. The handful of people who made this movie really were incredibly brave. Most people today just want something that is predictable and entertaining, quickly rejecting anything that is not formulaic, not a remake, not a sequel in an established franchise. This movie is none of those things. It is unique, from beginning to end.
