Antonio Banderas leads this robotic sci-fi set 50 years in the future, where the planet has been reduced to a desert wasteland. As the human population dwindles, the call for manmade humanoid robotic companions rises...
Technology combats the prevailing uncertainty with the creation of the first quantum android, the Automata Pilgrim 7000, by ROC Robotics. But despite programming preventing the robots from self-modifying, that's exactly what insurance agent Jacq Vaucan (Banderas) discovers is taking place and he sets off to identify the source of the tampering and protect humanity from a possible rise of the machines.

"Even for sci-fi, some logic has to enter the plot, which also needs to be devoid of major holes if it's not to fall into ridiculousness, and that, unfortunately, is where Automata lies."

Variety
Variety"The effort to make thinking man's sci-fi is admirable, but it requires a steadier, surer hand."

Time Out
Time Out"There are interesting ideas here, but they are swallowed up in dull, poorly choreographed shootouts and other action nonsense."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Approximates the look and feel of idea-driven science fiction, but it doesn't have any actual ideas."
—
The Dissolve
The Dissolve"Visually inspired but thematically derivative, the apocalyptic sci-fi drama "Automata" pits humans against robots with predictable results."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"The overwrought, uncontrolled sci-fi thriller Automata is a disappointing example of a film that lacks the imagination to follow persuasively through on its engaging initial premise."
