DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Apr 1 An unabashed benchmark of 80s music video cinema, Electric Dreams holds a unique charm that's hard to dismiss, treating its bizarre setup of a love triangle between a man, a woman and a computer with surprising sincerity. It's earnest, imaginative and just strange enough to be memorable. What could have been a throwaway high-concept comedy instead becomes a somewhat thoughtful story about loneliness, love and the dawning relationship between humans and technology. Thoroughly drenched in 1980s aesthetics with neon lighting, colourful graphics, synth-heavy music and a playful tone that borders on whimsical. The soundtrack gives the film a distinctive pulse that elevates even its quieter moments, but it's the moment that Together in Electric Dreams hits that reinforces how much I love this decade of filmmaking. In the end, it's less about who wins and more about how connection, whether human or artificial, changes us. Spike Jonze has some explaining to do.

See more Carlos I @carlosFibarra Jul 2 I've waited a long time to see Electric Dreams, and was woefully let down. The film flirts with "gonzo horror" territory but ultimately fails to commit, never truly venturing into the darker, more bizarre depths it hints at. What's left is a rather tepid romantic comedy, albeit one with a cool gimmick that sadly isn't enough to elevate the uninspired plot.

The AI comments are predictable, and I won't be adding to them. Because it very clearly portrays Edgar as a person. With wants, needs, and thoughts - all communicated through such a limited medium at the time. All main characters are characterized amazingly, down to the lines they draw. It keeps a coherent plot, even if characters like Bill seem underused - Bill showed how truly distressed Madeline was. Everything was thought through, and the acting (voice acting, in Edgar's case,) is amazing as well. A necessary cult classic that I wish more people had the joy of experiencing.
