Sobre este filme

In a future where Earth's ecosystem verges on collapse, man-made robots roam the cities to protect dwindling human life. When a robot overrides a key protocol put in place to protect human life, ROC Robotics insurance agent Jacq Vaucan (Antonio Banderas) is assigned to locate the source of the manipulation and eliminate the threat. What he discovers leads Vaucan, ROC Robotics and the police into a battle with profound consequences for the future of humanity.

L'idea di per se non è male, peccato che il film sia di una lentezza esasperante e inoltre ci sono alcuni aspetti poco chiari nell'intera vicenda. L'attore principale non è all'altezza del ruolo, recitazione mediocre e regia altrettanto. In sostanza ne sconsiglio la visione, esistono altri bellissimi film che trattano la trascendeza in maniera decisamente migliore.

Sometimes there's a reason movies to straight to video. Don't waste your time here, Sharknado would be better. Unless you thoroughly enjoy seeing robots being blasted (in which case you can watch without volume to save yourself of the horrible acting) watch something like "The Machine "

I can see why many are tempted to compare it to Blade Runner and I, Robot, but to call Automata a rip off of those films is to sell it short. This is a great story in its own right. The effects aren't fancy, but they support the story well. This isn't a high-budget sci-fi/action film. It aims to make you think. I found it to be intelligent, visually stunning, and entertaining. I enjoyed the performances of Banderas and McDermott, as well as the rest of the cast. I appreciated it most for the questions it asks about what it means to be "alive", and to grow and evolve. Don't write it off. At a rental price (as of Feb, 2015) of $0.99, it is totally worth a look.
