Override isn’t really about artificial intelligence losing control—it’s about humans enjoying control too much. When Ria is hacked and forced into violence for an audience’s entertainment, the film exposes a brutal truth: cruelty becomes acceptable when it’s distant, clickable, and framed as content. The danger here isn’t sentient AI rebelling, but a culture willing to trade empathy for spectacle. Once a being can suffer, calling it “just a machine” stops working. Override asks a question that implicates us all: when we keep watching, who is actually being overridden? 📺🤖⚠️
