Sorry, but I couldn't finish this movie. Despite being a pretty good looking film with some OK special effects and decent acting (which is why I gave it 3 stars), the movie is just so dumb. So we got this guy, who kidnaps people that society doesn't care about, so he can restrain them to chairs and do these weird electrical-impulses to the brain (maybe the movie explains this later, I didn't get that far) for some research project, and then throws them back in a cell with wrist and mouth restraints. Long story short, this pretty chick blows up a part of his house (which sets off no alarms), she gets two of his subjects killed by some robot, and then he restrains her again. Then we get to a part where she's like "hey, if you let me do whatever the hell I want, I'll participate in your research" to which he does smartly reply "I mean, I kept you tied up and did it anyway, what's your point? I'll just do that" but then he follows that up with "but ok I'll let you roam the house for no reason, and buy you clothes, too, cause I suddenly trust you girl who blew up my house and tried to escape!". So now, I guess he no longer needs to strap people to chairs and do brain experiments, he just leaves this chick who messed everything up to do what she wants so long as she does some puzzles during the day, and surprise surprise, she's still trying to escape. I think the tipping point for me was when he casually remarks that he doesn't want the computer to know certain things like the outside world or whatever, and of course he then leaves the house and two seconds later she's telling the computer all the things she's not supposed to tell it and developing some weird friendship with it. I watched a little more after that but barely remember it, I checked out and decided it was too dumb to finish.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The trailer is amazing and pulls you into a world you never experience. It is very boring and slow as the entire premise of the movie is about a girl building a relationship with a computer house. Sadly the antagonist AI created House program can simply be undone by repeating your question in a Stern mom voice. "What's upstairs? Tau... What's upstairs?" very casual acting and nothing surprising happened throughout. Definitely not worth the time. And I'm usually entertained fairly easily

Loads of fun to watch, super CGI, TAU is very well visualized and believable. Maika Monroe is strong in the lead while Alex is purely a secondary character. TAU and Julia are the leads in this film. I loved the drones, so cute and I could definitely use a few of them. Just watch the film yourself, and don't go by the negative reviews.
