Automata has some interesting ideas but is let down by its clunky script and even clunkier acting.

Unfortunately, like some of the malfunctioning robots in the movie, Automata is a clunker.

There may be little here that we haven't seen before, but Ibanez keeps the pace fast and manages to suggest a bit of religious allegory without bonking us over the head with it.

The dialogue and the central narrative arc do not live up to the ideas present throughout.

"Autómata" is a movie that's all look and no feel, all sizzle and no steak; while it's remarkably easy to appreciate a film with such nimble visuals, the lead-footed storytelling makes it difficult to care.

No matter how exhausted cinema is in its dystopian anguish, this film shows us that there are still independent horizons for the genre in the future. [Full review in Spanish]

There are interesting ideas here, but they are swallowed up in dull, poorly choreographed shootouts and other action nonsense.

Personally, if I were you, I'd bypass it for a double feature of "Cherry 2000" and "Runaway."

This film begins well... but after a while it becomes way too ordinary. [full review in Spanish]

One gets the feeling of witnessing some kind of primordial origin story about parallel destinies for the human race and the intelligent machines we make.

Autómata's generic urban 2044 dystopia is a realm of hazily gray CGI buildings, many rubble-strewn and abandoned.

Visually inspired but thematically derivative, the apocalyptic sci-fi drama "Automata" pits humans against robots with predictable results.
