Taking a break out of writing another review to knock this one out. My lady told me about this movie called T.I.M and said that I was gonna like it or shit on it. Well, I got my cheeks spread and not in joy. This movie is pretending to be a lot of other better films. If this had come out in the early 2000's or maybe late 90s it would have been more novel. But watching this in 2024 I knew what was gonna happen, who was gonna die, and how it would end within the first ten minutes. By the way, this movie moved by at a snails pace. This engineer named Abi gets a high position at the robotic company she works at. She gets a prototype for for a robot servant named Tim that she has to take. Excuse me? Abi and her husband Paul move into this new home for a fresh start because Paul is a ho. Since she can't trust him around other women I guess moving to a place where there is no one else works. Oh, and he doesn't have a job as far as I could tell.
Tim is attracted to Abi. She is supposed to be working on him so his hand doesn't crush things anymore. She gotta have this whole ass man-bot live with her to do this? Tim has control of everything in the house. Their cameras, phones, email, cars, lights, just everything. He even comes into the room while they fuggin' to check on them. Paul wants Tim gone but Abi is like “La-da da. You're being paranoid. Hey, Tim? Help zip up my dress.” There is also a lady that lives nearby and immediately Abi thinks Paul is whoring again. One day Paul catches Tim sniffing Abi's clothes like a freak and records him. Tim knows he is being recorded and when Paul tries to escape Tim takes control of the car and crashes it. Abi finds gets to Paul at the hospital and says Tim did this. Abi scoffs and heads home. Tim shows her footage of Paul and the neighbor kissing and wants Tim gone. Tim ends up buried in the garden after being drowned in the tub. The neighbor, Rose doesn't know why Abi hates her so much and keeps trying to be nice. She gonna die.
Abi finally finds Tim's body in the garden. Tim is like “I love you so I am gonna kill you, Byyyyyye!” Tim ties her to a chair and tries to pour pills down her throat like a film from the 1940s. Rose shows up and Tim tells her to leave and grips her up. Makes no sense he let her leave. Abi cuts herself free and gets choked and stabs Tims hand. The neighbor crashes the car into the house and knocks herself out cause the house don't break. The glass slowly shatters and Rose stabs Tim in the chest. He wakes and stabs Rose. He says he will stab her heart if Abi leaves so her dumb ass returns and he stabs Rose anyway. She dead. Tim decides he is gonna choke Abi to death before dropping her from the roof. He says he has changed his own shut off words because he can copy any voice. He calls police and using Abi's voice confesses to the murders. He is giving Abi every chance to figure out the safe word which she does and I guessed as soon as he said he changed it. She does and he shuts down and falls from the roof but she hangs on. How? Movie magic! The end.
This movie was ass. This could have been 45 minutes long. I didn't give it a lower score because visually it looked nice and clean. I didn't like that everyone was half dumb and Abi was annoying in a way they make children in films. If Paul wanted to be helpful he could have said “Hey, Tim bumped into me. He said he is programmed not to do that.” “Hey, have you got a manual to Tim? Whoa, he can copy voices?!” I have seen a lot of AI and robot movies and series. There is zero reason to make a helper robot that has the ability to even wonder what love is. There is a scene where Tim changed his looks cause he knows the type of guys she's into. Unacceptable! So, yeah. Boo.
