    Omnipotent AI tries to take over the world via manipulating people into doing its bidding, I thought the story and writing was pretty weak but worth it for the last like 45 mins which blows the rest of the movie out of the water IMO

      This is the first time anyone has even mentioned the plot, none of the advertising material does.

        Because it’s barely a concern in the movie. It’s little more than a Macguffin to raise the stakes. That’s honestly my biggest problem with it. They set up this compelling concept of an AI manipulating information and then the most they ever do with it is have it hijack a walkie talkie. I loved how the intelligence agencies were all switching everything to analogue, but none of that ever really makes any difference to the story at all.

        Well the last time plot mattered was when Brian De Palms was directing which was a while ago. I’m not complaining though, still like the franchise (apart from one entry) and enjoyed this one also.

      I guess it’s still worth watching?

        Yes if you like the series you’ll probably like this one but I don’t think it offers anything new other than the specific action sequences
