Review of Automata

for once, i agree with the rating and most of the reviewers - this film is a 6/10, no question.

so, there's a future very similar (for what we're concerned) to Blade Runner, and there's big, bulky robots everywhere.

As you can imagine, these robots (who have two of Asimov's three laws of robotics) start to become self aware, and a small bunch of them head out of the city to start a new future, because they "want to live".

Aaand, there's an insurance man who discovers this. But, he spends most of the film in pain.

Now, i'm not the biggest Michael Bay fan out there (hehe) but, at about 1/3 through the film, i was honestly hoping for some action/adventure; you know, a-la Will Smith.

Because, the film isn't badly done. It doesn't shine particularly either, but the problem is that the plot is really paper thin. Now, some fisticuffs and 'splosions would have really livened up things, but no. Nothing really happens besides the plain and bleeding obvious.

So.. i don't know. Watch it. It won't hurt your brain. But it won't make you happy either.

My final vote (as above): 6/10, not that much of a film.
