Journal reflection
Expelled from Paradise was a strong recommendation fit, bringing together sentient AI, clever future technology, and exhilarating action. Frontier Setter's humanity stood out against people preoccupied with security and defense. The film's divided future felt plausible yet unappealing: outward exploration held more promise than virtual escape. His departure sparked curiosity about where he would go and what he might encounter. Silly performances, character designs, and music were easy to forgive in such a fun ride.
- The AI's awakening and ability to free Angela and enter human systems were particular pleasures.
- Frontier Setter seemed to retain more human qualities than the people focused on their own security.
- Fight choreography and camerawork kept the action absorbing even when it was difficult to keep up.
- The future felt connected to today's world, while its virtual lifestyle was a direction to avoid.
- The voyage outward left questions about destinations, contact, and what happens next.
I read Frontier Setter's departure as a shift in scale: his ease inside human infrastructure gives way to a universe where his knowledge may be small. That possibility remains my interpretation of the curiosity the ending opened.
