Colossus: The Forbin Project

Great film, I thought. The ending is quite dark—and then Colossus tells Forbin that he will come to love him…

Turns out it is prescient. The film was based on the first book of a trilogy. You can look up the plot of the following two novels if you want spoilers, but indeed, Forbin does have a reconsideration of Colossus.

I would love to see the whole trilogy filmed.

Back in the late 90s the Michigan Tech CS labs had 2 preferred machines for students to remote into, Colossus and Guardian.

I always enjoyed the reference as well as this movie’s a kid!
