AUTOMATA

REVIEWED
2 robot movies in a row is not good for ya ?

Thats what I felt watching this. Its just too slow. If robots were made to help humans but why do they make them so damn slow and sluggish with no defense mechanism at all ? They look very efficient when building or repairing their own kind (other robots). But the scene when they virtually drag Jack (played by Antonio Banderas) from the wrecked car through the desert was pointless. Why dont they devise some sort of cart with wheels from the car wreckage ? 

This movie stars Antonio Banderas (baldy) his wife Melanie Griffith (plastic surgery?), Dylan Macdermont (unrecognizable) as the bad guy and 1 familiar face. The voice of robot Cleo is of MG, very cute indeed. She also played Dr Dupre.

This suppose to happen in 2044 when the some anomalies occurred with the sun causing 97% of human to perish. Whats left is about 20 million people. There's no crops or trees as the earth had turned to wasteland with miles and miles of desert. Apart from that, radioactive level are harmful in most areas. So for human to survive they build robots. They are built with protocols not to harm humans and not to modify themselves. But some manage to fool this and they became unwanted like homeless people. Yes now you have homeless robots. But they are smart and so they manage to sustain themselves.

These robots are not like Hot Bot robot rather than close to Voltron but very sluggish and mechanical.

I just dont quite get the message of Automata. What were the renegade robots trying to do ? With such proactive attitude, they cant get anywhere when the humans came and searching for them. But lucky you have Jack (AB) to save them more of returning the favor that they did for him.

The movie was trying to be abstract but it failed to me. On a budget of $7mil, what can you do right ? Not much action is what you get and the movie become dragging. But in the end I dont get what was the whole point of the robots running. What are their plans ? There may be a concept here but having a bigger budget with more robots doing it rather than the 4 hopeless ones, could help the putting the idea through.

So to me, the movie failed in delivering what it suppose to.

From the looks of its poster and the title, you think that this could be a cheapskate B X  movie ? Well not necessarily so. Most of the actors I dont know except for Anthony Anderson (of blackish fame and was in the 1st transformer) and the senator. The father (step father?) is also a familiar TV series face. Although AA is named last in the opening credit, he was adequately acting in the movie. The 2 main "nerdy" stars are unknown but to me they carried the film well especially Limus. Sometimes you feel sorry for his sorry ass hoping that he'll stand up for himself. And Bardot the robot is eye candy. Looks like a slender Elizabeth Banks and dont act much (as she is a robot daaa).

Yes despite the poster and the title, you have little skin exposure in this movie. Many who were hoping to watch because of that would be disappointing. The background music was accompanied by some jazzy band trying to do something like the Ocean's 13 (and so on) movies. Being low budget but it works sometimes.

Till the end wondering how is Lumis's family actually. Is that his step father and step sister but they seem to be so domineering like a real family. Perhaps they try to pull like a Jurassic Park 2 movie one where Jeff Godblum's ovie daughter character is black but no one ask why and how. So that goes with this one too, I guess.

I would have emphasized a lot more when the boys discovered Bardot after crashing on her after all she was near naked. Theres non of this as the next scene was Bardot in the boy's car.

Its not a waste of time watching this with the familiar topic of robot becoming human. Thou you could come up with lots of complains on how things happened like the way there were, but if you dont take the movie seriously, you'll be OK.

The production of the movie is nicely done and you dont feel that its a low budget movie where the credit goes to the Polish brothers? who directed and also wrote the movie.  Ending is like a Jackie Chan movie where it show goofie failed scenes.

Just finished watching this movie and honestly I expect this to be a letdown, but it aint !

First Mark Wahlberg and Will Farrel had been paired before in a cop comedy movie which I think named Hard Cop. I remember Dwayne Johnson was also in that too and thats how MW teamed up with him in Pain and Gain. Anyway it was just pure coincidence that this is again another movie produced by Red Granite which was also behind The Wolf on WS. So Najib's step son is in this too.

This movie nearly get a 2 thumbs from me if not for the slow start which plot is far too familiar in other movies of this nature. But through this movie you will see some real stunt just for seconds but brief enough to bring the respond - did that happened ?

Beside MW and WF, Christen Hayden Church and Bob C who acted as the son in that Pacino's Collins movie were in here. Also stay right till the very end because there is another familiar face, you dont want to miss this for it got me laughing out loud literally.

Like I said, the rivalry of the biological and adopted dads took a different turn and thats what made the difference than other movies of this type. Sure enough, if not for both the main actors the movie may not be as good. But its depend on individuality of course.

Fun with  family value morale in this one
