<div dir="ltr"><div>Take a look at the most underrated science fiction movie of all time, it's called "Colossus: The Forbin Project", in it the supercomputer AI actually wins! The movie makes you think that the human's plan to regain control is going to work just as it always does in movies of this sort, but no, it turns out the computer was just toying with them and the human's never had a snowball's chance in hell of outsmarting the AI. The film is from 1970 so the special effects are not bleeding edge, but the script is. <br>

That is a excellent trailer, it's really good, although sometimes the<br>
trailer is much better than the movie. I just hope that in that penultimate<br>
scene the Jupiter Brain is not defeated by means of a martial arts style<br>
fistfight or by a car chase, and then in the last scene have the mad<br>
scientist walk into the sunset with his girlfriend after at last seeing the<br>
evil of his ways and discovering his inner humanity.<br>

I don't see how this movie can have an ending other than destroying the<br>
'evil' science and returning everything to 'normality'. I'm still waiting<br>
for a movie that doesn't promote a neo-luddite agenda. And I think I'll have<br>
to wait longer.<br>
