Horror is not my genre. I do like Black Mirror and this is not that either. This is something to itself. It has some of the most impressive dialogue and premises followed by the most unimpressive. It's kind of like eating a secret flavored corn chip you can't quite place the flavor of, but can't stop eating.

Honestly, the entire story seems the most plausible way an AI would take over mankind. The twists were again...either impressive or...not...but the actors did a solid job and I found myself wondering "what if"?

What if they flushed out better plot beats?

What if the character motivations were more logical and coherent?

What if this was the AI masterpiece I've always hoped to watch?

I'm AfrAId all of those questions will remain suspended without closure.

The best thing we can say about AfrAID is that it was just okay. Not a terrible film, but lacked any real substance. While it does a decent job of showing us the real dangers of AI, the film lacked tension, suspense, and had very little horror aspects to it.

With some cringe dialogue and over-the-top presentation of most of it's characters, you never really felt connected to this world. AfrAId was also highly predictable so there are no real surprises or anything new to really find here.

In the end, AfrAId had a decent premise but left you feeling rather underwhelmed. It does leave things open for a sequel, but we'll see if the demand is there for it.
