[MOVIE]Autómata (tt1971325)[/MOVIE]
Automata, opening October 10, is set in year 2044 where advanced robots are part of our society but must follow a set of basic rules. Those rules include not being able to modify themselves in any way and to protect humans. When a robot breaks any of the rules they are hunted down to be destroyed.
Antonio Banderas stars as Jacq Vaucan, an insurance agent for the ROC corporation responsible for most of the robots. Vaucan's investigation into robots being altered leads him on a bigger discovery that robots might be already far beyond breaking the rules.
Comparisons of course will be made against Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which of course was the basis for the excellent Blade Runner movie, and to Isaac Asimov's Runaround that introduced three laws of robotics that have since become common place in the genre.
Comparisons aside, the trailer sure looks good.
