- Complete Monster: Thomas Alexander "Alex" Upton is a technology mogul seeking to create the perfect smart home AI by incorporating behaviors from real live test subjects. Murdering his victims after finishing the testing, Alex has already claimed eleven lives by the start of the film, all just to score a billion-dollar contract. When his current testee, Julia, tries to negotiate for better conditions, Alex is enraged, reminding her he can have her killed at any time. His prototype AI, the titular TAU, doesn't fare much better, with Alex responding to any perceived failure or treachery by painfully erasing its memories. A chillingly cold Serial Killer, Alex is a man devoid of emotion save obsession with his success and glory.
- Narm: The gravity of Alex's death is a bit spoiled by the Wilhelm Scream.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: The scenery is pretty beautiful, and TAU, the drones and ARES are very well animated.
