Her (2013)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798709/

An interesting modern day romance, taking our immersion in social media and online relationships to the extreme. The romance between Theodore and Samantha feels very real, especially when they argue, but starts to feel contrived when her artificial intelligence moves far beyond his comprehension and then further beyond the boundaries of her electronic world. The plot is interesting but ultimately unsatisfying, as the artifice has too many unexplored dimensions.
