08/05/2020 This movie was a blast. It is reminiscent of Full Moon and Roger Corman movies from the 80s. It takes large concepts and communicates them in a fun campy way. It was funny, tense, scary, and heartfelt all at the same time. Garo Seitan did a great job directing and this movie is worth seeing over and over again. See more 06/27/2020 Decent watch, probably won't watch again, and can't really recommend. I'm more of a fan of movies that celebrate innovations in technology that tearing them down. This movie is closer to a fear mongering experience against automation in the workplace. Had it the budget to represent its message in a more palatable experience, then it might have been more convincing in its message. The low budget and cheap special effect make it very unconvincing as a message and a story. Its very clear that Auto is a man in a suit, worse than C3PO (Star Wars). Ultimately, this movie loses me for presenting it as a prototype, the beginning of a progressive change: that it would be better if everything stays the same. And more power to you if you like that, but I enjoy the blossoming of the new myself. Had this been set in the "Alien" or "I Robot" universes where an androids are common enough and one goes rogue, it would be more intriguing.

The cast and crew were obviously having a great time making it, and it's easy to join them. Are there a few logic gaps and some cheesy effects? Sure, but it also features a number of cool moments and a very satisfying ending, which puts it way ahead of most films made on this kind of budget. I saw Rise of Skywalker in IMAX on the same day that I watched Automation at home, and I enjoyed both. One took hundreds of people several years to make on a nine-figure budget, and the other was shot in 12 days with a cast of about a dozen and a budget that wouldn't buy a decent used car. It seems like some people are dissing this movie because it isn't a major Hollywood feature. If you don't like this kind of thing, that's fine, but as far as low-budget indie flicks go, Automation is really well done. And, frankly, I've seen plenty of movies that did a lot less with a lot more money. See more 12/08/2019 Don't take it too seriously and just have fun! See more Read all reviews
