Superintelligence (2020) [พากย์ไทย บรรยายไทย]

Imagine having the nerve to call your film Superintelligence when neither jokes or intellect are on display in any capacity.  As much as its evident that Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone have a loving story of their own, their personal success doesn’t translate professionally as this, their fourth collaboration together as star and director (respectively), leaves much – and I mean MUCH – to be desired.




 

As the most average person in the world, McCarthy does her best to inject her inherent likability into the role of Carol, a do-gooder type living in Seattle who has constantly put the needs of others above her own.  When a newly-awakened Artificial Intelligence learns of her existence, it decides to judge humanity based solely on her.  Yes, this is actually the plot.  Opting to appeal to Carol by taking on the voice (and occasional human form) of James Corden, her favourite celebrity, the A.I. is debating on whether or not it wants to save humanity, enslave the population, or simply destroy the world in a bid to wipe the slate clean and start over.

Somehow, it decides its outcome will be based entirely on whether or not Carol can get back together with her ex, George (Bobby Cannavale), but because the military naturally get involved, Carol grows more concerned by the day that such powerful assistance will only convince the A.I. more that humanity deserves to perish; and given that Superintelligence thought someone like James Corden was the best choice to serve as the technology’s voice, you can’t exactly blame this thought process.
