Thirty years in the future, mankind struggles to survive as the environment deteriorates. Technology combats the prevailing uncertainty and fear with the creation of the first quantum android, the Automata Pilgrim 7000. Roc corporation has set forth security protocols to ensure mankind maintains control over the manufactured population. However, as Roc insurance agent Jacq Vaucan investigates cases surrounding defective androids, he begins to uncover the secrets behind who is really manipulating the Automata Pilgrim 7000 – and the truth is far more complex than the make or model of any machine.
Take I-Robot, Blade Runner and a hefty tome on the philosophy of life, remove most of the action, stir in a...

Automata begins with foreshadowing text:
Millions of robots witness the decay of the human civilization.
Millions of robots ruled by two security protocols:
First protocol: prevents the robot from harming any form of
life.
Second protocol: prevents the robot from altering itself or other robots.
This thought provoking science-fiction film tells the story of an insurance agent of Roc robotics corporation who routinely investigates the case of manipulating a robot. What he discovers will have profound consequences for the future of humanity.
The film stars Antonio Banderas, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Melanie Griffith, Dylan McDermott and Robert Forster.

For fans of the genre, I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to see this stunning film.
In September I spoke with Automata’s writer/director Gabe Ibáñez. Like Stanley Kubrick, he has a profound understanding of the genre.
For Ibáñez, his own fascination about the theory of technological singularity,...

There's a new science fiction film on the horizon, set in the future that's ruled by technology. While some of the initial ideas put forth in this trailer (which also showcases a very different looking Antonio Banderas) seem like traditional Sci-Fi ideas, Automata still looks like it could be a fun and thought-provoking adventure. Come inside to watch the trailer for yourself.
I'm really digging this trailer. Sure, it has some generic robot ideas (some things like what we saw in I, Robot) but that doesn't make the ideas any less interesting. Couple that with the setting and characters, and this could be a very entertaining science fiction film. It could also really suck and be generic, but I'm intrigued by this trailer so I'm thinking positive!
Millennium Entertainment will release Automata in theaters and OnDemand October 10, 2014.

"If you want to survive, you must stay with us." Just recently, we highlighted two teaser posters for an upcoming sci-fi flick called Automata, starring Antonio Banderas. Now the first trailer has arrived, and it definitely has our attention. It seems like a mix of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot mixed with Blade Runner and a hint of District 9. It's gritty, with practical robots, and some impressive visuals for such a low profile sci-fi project. Of course, the question is whether or not the big ideas teased in the trailer are effectively transferred to the big screen, unlike the Will Smith attempt to adapt Asimov's classic work. Watch below! Here's the first trailer for Gabe Ibáñez's Automata, originally from Yahoo: Automata is directed by Spanish filmmaker Gabe Ibáñez (Hierro) from a script he wrote with Igor Legarreta and Javier Sánchez Donate. The film, set 50 years in the future,...

Coming out of left field today is the tease of a sci-fi project that we haven't heard anything about. Automata comes from Spanish filmmaker Gabe Ibáñez, and wrangles Antonio Banderas back into one of his rare sci-fi roles after playing with Spy Kids and The Skin I Live In, two very different films in the genre. This time he's diving into the future, about 50 years to be exact, and he's playing an insurance agent responsible for looking into cases regarding defective androids. Now two posters have popped up showing off a bald Banderas along with some of the robots in the film. It has a Mad Max meets District 9 vibe. Look! Here's the first posters for Gabe Ibáñez's Automata sent to us from Millennium Entertainment: Automata is directed by Spanish filmmaker Gabe Ibáñez (Hierro) from a script he wrote with Igor Legarreta and Javier Sánchez Donate.
