Superintelligence (film)
Superintelligence is a 2020 American romantic action comedy film directed by Ben Falcone and written by Steve Mallory. The film stars Melissa McCarthy in her fourth collaboration with her husband, Falcone.
Superintelligence was released by Warner Bros. Pictures digitally in the United States via HBO Max, and theatrically in some international markets, on November 26, 2020. The film has grossed $4 million and received mixed reviews from critics, who called the film "forgettable", although McCarthy's performance was praised.
The film was removed from HBO Max in July 2022.
Eight years ago, Carol Peters left her executive job at Yahoo! in order to lead a more altruistic life. Unsatisfied with the current job market in Seattle, she now lives day to day, doing non-profit work to advocate for the environment, caring for animals and making the world a better place.
A friend and former colleague, Dennis, talks her into interviewing for a modern dating website. An interviewer labels her "the most average person on Earth," which is heard by an autonomous artificial intelligence (AI).
The next morning in her apartment, a voice starts communicating with her through her TV, cell phone and rice maker. The AI speaks the voice of James Corden, as he is her favorite celebrity, to soothe her when she freaks out. The supercomputer has become sentient and now is trying to decide whether to save, enslave or obliterate humanity and start over. Carol, as test subject, is the planet's only hope. The AI wants to study Carol and her interactions as a way to learn about humanity. Telling Carol it will be watching her over three days to decide, it erases her student debt and deposits 10 million dollars into her bank account. It suggests she confide in Dennis, a researcher at Microsoft. She goes to his workplace, and the AI talks to him and convinces him it is real, not a figment of Carol's imagination.
The AI also convinces Carol to try to get back with her ex-boyfriend, George, thinking observing their reconciliation would be the ideal way to prove humans are capable of love and redemption. He presents her with a self-driving Tesla and takes her to a high-end clothing designer to revamp her look.
When she arrives outside George's place, NSA agents abduct Carol, tipped off by Dennis. In their interrogation, she tells them the AI's goal. It announces it is freeing her, threatening their annihilation if they try to stop it. The AI organizes a meet cute for Carol and George. Initially ineffective, she tries again, inviting him to dinner. In the meantime, Dennis meets with the President of the United States, convincing her and the world to shut down all electronics, hoping to neutralize the AI.
