Ooooooooooooo!! Can't wait! That looks awesome.

I hadn't heard about this movie 2 days ago, and it looks very very good. I'm in!

This seems good enough that it reaches the uncanny valley-analogue of movie scripts; it's so smart that you actually realize how damn dumb it is. If it was your broadly dumb, average scifi movie, you wouldn't have to think about it, but now you have to confront that if we ever do invent AI's, we'll have to own up to the fact that we once spent time and resources worrying over the hypothetical scenario: will they want to bone us?

SciFi RomComs seem to be all the rage these days (though this seems more thriller than com). Maybe we need a new abbrev. RomFi? SciRom? At any rate it seems to have an interesting premise.

Why do female robots always sound like naïve curious children?

Because the internet (and everything else) is for porn. Sex drives most everything about the human race, one way or another.

seems like an extended twilight zone, but I'll watch.

Interested to know what peeps here think of 'Automata' after watching ?

Automata bothered me that they had their own "Rules of Robotics", but felt like trimming those back to only 2, leaving even wider loopholes for creative drama, but still following it to the same conclusion.
I liked The Machine a bit better because instead of a fictional portrayal on AI finding a way through it's man-made cage, it was about experimenting with an AI that had no cage and seeing what self-discovery brought it.
Ultimately both those films just devolved into meaningless action in the end. I hope this one doesn't. Otherwise the premise looks almost identical to The Machine, right down to the robots name (Eva/Ava, same phonetics).

Lots of interesting science fiction out the last couple years though. Lots seem to be dealing with our infatuation of deconstructing our physical bodies to explore what's left. Between this film, The Machine, Robocop, The Signal, and I'm sure at least one other I'm leaving out, they all have viscerally imagined portrayals of human figures with as little recognizable human traits as possible.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I hope it doesn't boil down to a "rescue the sexy robot" movie - that was done best in Bladerunner. Exploring sexuality I think is valid, but please not the whole movie.

Did that cut in the forearm insinuate that the guy himself is a test robot? I am too baked to make sense of this.
