"When wading into such trodden territory as AI super computer interacting with humans to evolve, the story must be strong enough that we can look past this cliche and appreciate a fresh approach.
Sadly, Tau is not this. It feels as if the story could have been told as a forty minute short and was instead padded out to eighty five minutes by tacking on a needless subplot at the beginning which made this feel more like a SAW film then an intelligent sci-fi.
The story follows Julia, who is kidnapped from her home by an elusive billionaire genius who wants to create stronger, more human AI.
This barebones affair is centred around her interaction with Tau, the prototype supercomputer that runs the antagonist's home. Tau is inquisitive and trades knowledge for knowledge as Julia tries to plot her escape.
There is a margin of investment in the AI human relationship but it's not worth seeking out other than a lazy afternoon when you have nothing else to do"
