Film Review – T.I.M.

As filmmakers increasingly turn to artificial intelligence for dramatic inspiration, “T.I.M.” dares to go a little smaller with its vision of robotic control. A.I. has been used to launch a few epics in the last year, including “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” and “The Creator,” but the new picture is mostly contained to domestic spaces, following the influence of an A.I.-powered servant who’s becoming a little too attached to one of his owners, working to understand the power of obsession that’s corrupted its system. Writers Sarah Govett and Spencer Brown (also making his directorial debut) aren’t committed to a full-blown horror endeavor with the movie, going more for a general creepiness as stalker cinema meets a few futureworld touches. “T.I.M.” lacks chills, but it’s held together by a decent cast and a general atmosphere of unease, working to reach viewers already on edge about the heavily surveilled world we live in.
