Amelia 2.0

After his wife Amelia suffers an aneurysm that leaves her bedridden and slowly dying, police officer Carter Summerland searches for a way to revive her. He's approached by Wesley Enterprises pioneering a new program to extend life through robotics, they get caught in a public debate over human’s relationship with technology and her right to exist.
This film is based on an interesting premise, and generally does a fair job of presenting a future human dilemma around legislation to regulate the dataization of the human brain. While it suffers in places from poor editing (wide gaps between lines), there are long segments of excellent, fast-paced editing as well. Once I got through the first 30-40 minutes, the flow of story maintained itself. Have patience; it does improve! The cast includes some experienced well-known actors whose performances are fine. I believe the boring sections are less the fault of acting than they are of writing and editing. This is not a cheesy "student film" level scifi movie, as the visual effects are excellent, but a recut would certainly boost its viewability, and definitely would have allowed me to give it a 70% rating.
