Review by @daltono · 1576d · of Kimi

An agoraphobic Seattle tech worker uncovers evidence of a potentially violent crime thanks to AI software Kimi.

Kimi is pretty much the same as Amazon's Alexa. This intelligent and useful AI is able to assist with many tasks. Too lazy to turn on your own music? Kimi can do that and so much more for you.

One reason that Kimi continually gets better is that there are thousands of employees who have the job of analyzing data and fixing issues. This is what Angela Childs (Zoë Kravitz) does for a living from the comfort of her home. She has a long list of voice recordings each day that she must listen to and correct mistakes that Kimi makes.

Angela enjoys working from home since her agoraphobia (fear of going places) is now even worse since COVID started. Yes, this movie manages to take the most annoying thing about our reality and forces it into a movie. Luckily this provides some comedic relief since I often get a few laughs at people who are over-dramatic about protecting their health.

Angela hears a possible violent crime on one of her tasked recordings and she cannot help but become obsessed with solving the mystery after she has listened to the recording. This might just be what gets her to finally leave her nice apartment and venture out into the world again.

Angela discovers that the company she works for has way more user data than they let off, no surprise there. This allows her to figure out exactly what has happened and this shows her that Kimi is very far from perfect.

I can't say that this is the most action-packed, funny, or interesting film ever. I did somehow manage to still enjoy it a decent bit though. Angela has so many odd habits and it is quite comical to witness all of them happening. It is also very intriguing to see just how invasive some of this new teach like Kimi/Alexa actually is. Do you feel comfortable having every single conversation that you have possibly been listened to? The sad truth is, if you use any bit of technology, then it is likely to have happened at least once already.

It's quite clear that movies like this are trying their hardest to condition the minds of our population to become normalized with things like wearing a mask and being afraid to leave our own homes. This part of the movie annoys me in the worst way. There is still some good to be had with Kimi though. Check out the trailer below and leave a comment if you have already taken the time to watch this one.

    Yes, this movie manages to take the most annoying thing about our reality and forces it into a movie.

    I started it and couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of it for this exact reason.

    It's quite clear that movies like this are trying their hardest to condition the minds of our population to become normalized with things like wearing a mask and being afraid to leave our own homes.

    And this was exactly why I stopped watching it. It actually triggered me. I WILL NOT accept this as the new normal EVER!

    Before I go off on a political rant!

  • @ahmadmanga(75)· 1576d

    That's an interesting idea for a movie!

    I have slight agoraphobia, (not really but I can relate, going to a new place or even a place that I didn't go to the past two days is very very uncomfortable for me, my case is more like social anxiety) so I think I'll get a few relatable laughs out of this.

    But wow, people with agoraphobia really have it worse since Covid started, right?

    Interesting concept, honestly. It does seem like the type of thing HBO would throw out.
