Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
科幻外衣下的公路片，环保主题加上成长和信任，三星半。
“死亡”这个课题，是唯一可以让我们回归善良与爱的课题。
有点像是《我是传奇》和《机器管家》的合体故事，但是前两者都已经到了高峰，不好超越了。

旧金山宣传片，质感比隔壁网飞好的多——等人类死光，下一个王朝就是猩球崛起了。
与疫情斗得身心俱疲的我们太需要这样一部电影，温馨，感动，放缓情绪和节奏，来一次心灵的旅行~怀念那些单纯和美好。
忍不住模仿jeff叫finch的语调哈哈哈哈。
印度这些年的不少片让我们这边的观影者感慨：敢拍。我觉得更可贵的是，能审批通过，能上映让全国全世界的人看到——有了这样制度的前提，制片方到导演到团队，不存在“敢不敢”的问题。
1. 汤汉斯大叔不再跟一只排球唠嗑，换了跟一根红萝卜当头颅的机器人唠嗑。
近几年看过最好的公路片了，Don McLean的歌选的太妙了，画面和节奏太舒服了，tom hanks的演技内敛又强大，故事也像《机器人总动员》的前传，真好

故事，说它简单，关于信任及其传递；说它复杂，人类交给机器人了生命和希望，扮演完了进化历程中自己的角色，交接给新的物种。
完美，集合所有我喜欢的元素：废土、未来、科幻元素、狗狗。Jeff的演绎非常出色，细微的动作传达出丰富的情感，虽然是机器人，但是你能感觉到他的体温。最后太催泪了，呜哇，眼泪它就是停不下来啊啊啊！！！！
很难挑的出什么毛病，硬要说的话只能说是路上的艰辛少了，导致结构两头重中间轻，但也不是硬伤，这个机器人虽然是个铁罐头，但是却能做到表情非常生动，很难得。感谢汉克斯一直奉献好片，不像其他一些影帝年纪大了专出烂片。
末世危机，生老病死，对人类是如此残酷；人类的人情世故，不忍心让一个机器去理解和感受；杰夫面无表情，我们却感受到了ta的喜怒哀乐。
在辐射里大概就是和机器人对话然后引出的NPC的故事了
机器人陪伴末日人类，并埋葬人类的故事，还有一条狗，可以拍的更好，也许芬奇该问问杰夫：“要是我（人类）不在了，你有什么打算？”杰夫：“……（我水平不够编不出）”，多一些类似这样的探讨会让影片更深刻
还算可以吧，老汤的演技是不用担心的。但类似题材，相比起老汤自己的《荒岛余生》，少了份真实。虽然末世环境营造得不错，机器人CG也不错，但毕竟这是个软科幻故事，比如机器人的动力、智商等等太多问题反而造成了真实感的缺失。而比起威尔史密斯的《我是传奇》来，又少了份刺激，没有那么抓人眼球。
汤姆汉克斯老师演这种温情小品真是手到擒来啊
感谢汤姆汉克斯的角色死得早，他不死我要抓狂。
