Detroit: Become Human 2018: A Videogame and Movie Series -
Detroit: Become Human is an adventure game developed by Quantic Dream and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, released worldwide on 25 May 2018.
The plot revolves around three androids: Kara, who escapes the owner she was serving to explore her newfound sentience and protect a young girl; Connor, whose job it is to hunt down sentient androids; and Markus, who devotes himself to releasing other androids from servitude.
They may survive or perish depending on dialogue choices that shape the story as customised by the player.
Detroit: Become Human was based on Quantic Dream's 2012 tech demo Kara; Valorie Curry returned to reprise the title role.
To research the setting, the developers visited Detroit, Michigan. They built a new engine to complement the game and cast hundreds of actors from Los Angeles, London, and Paris before commencing the process of shooting and animation.
The script of thousands of pages took writer and director David Cage over two years to complete. Philip Sheppard, Nima Fakhrara, and John Paesano served as composers for Kara, Connor, and Markus, respectively.
Here's a trailer for Detroit: Become Human -
My Thoughts on "Kara's Story" - Detroit: Become Human 2018 (Movie)
I thoroughly enjoyed the CGI, characters and plot of this movie.
Why?
Because I've been a single father and stepfather most of my adult life and I could totally empathize with Kara's deep love and strong determination to protect Alice.
All it took for Kara to become "deviant" (an android that breaks her programming and becomes sentient) was her will to protect the little girl.
Classed as a deviant, she is forced to adapt to a life on the run with an innocent girl.
Naive Kara struggles to deal with a cruel world, a world where she has to make some big moral choices just to keep Alice safe.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and recommend it to anyone who has ever loved and cared for a child (related or not).
"Kara's Story" is filled with wonderful characters, savage state oppression, and hope.
