Work Flow


Work Flow
“The vessel is overseen by a serene sentinel named David (Michael Fassbender), a kind of ambulatory HAL 9000, who passes the time playing hoops, studying Sanskrit, and binge-viewing David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia (1962) on a spiffy home entertainment unit. Smitten by Peter O'Toole's sun-bleached blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and pithy British accent, he develops a narcissistic cyber-crush on the star, mimicking his looks and accent.”
Here David’s artificial intelligence is shown.  Being able to do things that humans are able to do.

“He is the ship's most compelling, least robotic character and it is a shame, really, that the pesky humans have to be roused from their cryo-chambers.”

“Scott brings a detached sense of absolute control and ruthless precision to work--hence perhaps his affinity with cyborgs.”
