Needless to say that I had never actually heard about this 2023 sci-fi thriller titled "AIMEE: The Visitor" from writers Charles Band and Neal Marshall Stevens prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to watch it.
And there are actually a handful of good movies from Full Moon Features and director Charles Band. So of course I had to check out this 2023 sci-fi thriller, as he usually dabbles in horror movies.
The storyline in "AIMEE: The Visitor" was okay, but it was hardly an outstanding or overly memorable storyline. But then again, I am not overly interested in AI and its advancement. Plus, I am not overly keen on the sci-fi genre in general, so there was that too. For me, it was a fairly flat and monotonous storyline, because there wasn't any real major ups and downs on the ride.
The acting performances in the movie were fair. It was a relatively small cast ensemble, but the actors and actresses actually put on good acting performances and carried the movie nicely. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "AIMEE: The Visitor", and that is something I enjoy when I sit down and watch movies.
Isn't showing unnecessary sex scenes something that belongs back in the 1980s and 1990s? But it was also to be found here in this movie, for some reason, and it absolutely did nothing to further the narrative of the story, and could just as well had just been skipped and hinted at, instead of actually showing it.
I love how the writers believe that when living creatures get zapped by electricity, then their bodies explode into small pieces. It was just laughably stupid, and it happened several times throughout the course of the narrative.
Was "AIMEE: The Visitor" an outstanding sci-fi thriller? Hardly. But it was watchable enough for what it turned out to be. However, it wasn't a movie that raised any questions about the advancement of AI and the usage of AI, nor was it a movie that left me with much of anything to ponder upon once the movie came to an end after its 69 minute runtime.
My rating of "AIMEE: The Visitor" lands on a four out of ten stars.
