In the not-too-distant future, the most cutting-edge technology has honed romantic relationships down to a science: A computerized test can determine the likelihood of successful partnership between two individuals, and androids - known as “synthetics” - have been designed as the ideal partners, ones who will never leave. Zoe (Léa Seydoux) and Cole (Ewan McGregor) work in the research facility responsible for developing this technology, and it’s against this backdrop of romantic engineering that their own relationship begins to blossom. But a sudden accident opens a division between them, threatening their nascent relationship and pointing to larger philosophical questions about love, humanity, and authenticity.

I must admit, the movie can thank Léa Seydoux for participating in the film. Her role managed to put me under such a spell that I had no problem watching this otherwise quite dreamily boring sci-fi romantic flick to the end. Otherwise, it was quite boring, but at times it caught your attention with visions of the near future, but not in a way that would make me burst with joy and enthusiasm.
