A.I. Artificial Intelligence – Tonight BBC1

ai_10And when I say tonight I mean the night of Thursday, the 19th of February 2015.

It’s nearly 14 years since A.I. Artificial Intelligence was released.  Difficult to believe it has been that long but we still don’t have intelligent, talking teddy bears or life-like robots.  Hoverboards haven’t quite made it either, despite Back To The Future II predicting that we would all be riding them by 2015.  Come on geeks!  Where’s our hoverboards?!?!

Speaking of intelligent ideas and things coming back from the past… Neat segue hey?

The British Broadcasting Corporation is honouring its audience with a viewing of A.I. Artificial Intelligence tonight at 11:45pm.  It’s been granted an upgrade to BBC1 too, having been shown on BBCs 2 and 3 the last few times.

The recent release, in parts of Europe at least, of the Alex Garland (28 Days Later…) movie Ex Machina has seen A.I. mentioned quite a lot.  Like Ex Machina, it too asks questions about our possible relationship with artificial intelligence technology in the future.  For those not familiar with Ex Machina I was surprised to just find out that it will not be out in the USA for several more months.

For those not aware Kathryn makes an all too brief appearance as a performer at a sort of circus in the middle of the film.

Details can be found on the BBC’s website here.

Screencaps and a video clip of Kathryn’s performance in A.I. can be found in the Gallery.
