"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* WhatAnIdiot: It seems stupid of Alex to create TAU to assist him to begin with: he keeps TAU under control by making it unable to interact with the outside world, but why even create an AI with the emotional potential of a human if it's just made to control the household tasks? Especially if it's capable of empathizing with your kidnapping victims.
** It's implied that Alex is [[EvilCannotComprehendGood unable to understand TAU's empathy]]. He calls it "unpredictable behavior."
** Alex is utterly bewildered when a test Julia solved more or less voluntarily gets him much better results than the ones he extracted by torturing her in his basement. This implies that he never even ''attempted'' to find volunteers for his experiments, skipping straight to kidnapping and ColdBloodedTorture instead. Talk about StupidEvil.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The scenery is pretty beautiful, and TAU, the drones and ARES are very well animated.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Thomas Alexander "Alex" Upton]] is a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive technology mogul]] seeking to create the perfect smart home AI by incorporating behaviors from real live test subjects. Murdering his victims after finishing the testing, Alex has already claimed eleven lives by the start of the film, all [[{{Greed}} just to score a billion-dollar contract]]. When his current testee, Julia, tries to negotiate for better conditions, Alex is enraged, reminding her he can have her killed at any time. His prototype AI, the titular TAU, not faring much better, Alex responds to any perceived failure or treachery by painfully erasing its memories. A chillingly cold SerialKiller, Alex is a man devoid of emotion save [[ItsAllAboutMe obsession with his success and glory]].
