Automata (I) (2014)
7/10
Great Antonio Banderas movie about Man vs. Machine
22 January 2015
Antonio Banderas confronts humanity's destiny.

An insurance claim agent who investigates a claim on machines that violate a program that prevents them from fixing themselves and comes face to face with the next stage of evolution.

That's what I think I love most about this flick. It's not about the next stage of man, but about the next stage of the planet earth and where we stand in it. the movie lays out the entire process of Earth's evolution and how important we truly are to it. In some ways, very, but it's still a grim outcome depending on how you think about it.

If you're a fan of science, I definitely recommend. A lot of great theories on the human race are being touched upon in this one and the usually questions about what is human or what is life are not as primary as much as the entire process of evolution. It's much more in depth and goes beyond that.

Antonio Banderas performance in this reminds me of how good his movie, the Skin I live in was. both movies made in Spain by Spanish directors.

It's too bad it did not get a theatrical release in the states, but definitely catch it on Netflix.
