Its not a movie worth seeing in the theatre. Hell - I didnt even know anything about the movie until I looked at the streaming websites. But its not full of social justice warrior, lgbtHDTV shit etc. Its just a basic futuristic CSI movie.

An AI judge with all the resources that the one in this movie has at their disposal, though? I dont know how I feel about it. Ive definitely been in court where there is favortism and the exact opposite of which. Not only for tenants and their evictions. But as we've seen with racial dynamics doing a complete 180 and black people getting a slap on the wrist while a white guy in the same crime gets a stiffer fine or penalty. .. If it could eliminate that, then.. maybe. But I still believe in a human jury making the ultimate judgement of guilt in major crimes, though.

Human and AI lawyers I have mixed feelings on as well. Part of me wants to say I dont want my case decided between the two competing AI's before I even step in the court room. But Ive seen MORE THAN MY SHARE of absolute shit head lawyers that were unprepared, lacked any actual understanding of their job and more.
