A low-tech FX film about the horrors of war and robots.
Leave your thoughts about Automatons.
| New York PostV.A. MusettoMore violent than anything Wood ever did, Automatons nevertheless has the kitschy feel and look of something he might have concocted. And I mean that as a compliment. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAutomatons is driven less by its hints of suicide bombers than by its rigorous adherence to a time when robots were played by inverted dustbins and battles were represented by dots converging on a crackling screen. This lack of sophistication is enormously endearing, leaving us with the comforting notion that the end of the world will look a lot like the beginning of television. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA mild and static attempt at sincere camp. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe acting is flat, and the scientist's ideological speeches too bluntly designed to mirror post-9/11 rhetoric. But there's a dreamy fascination to the iconic images of machines fighting a perpetual war for the human creators they'll inevitably outlast. |
| Village VoiceNathan LeeAutomatons is what happens when "Eraserhead" and "Tetsuo the Iron Man" bong themselves into oblivion and collaborate on a minimalist avant-garde sci-fi cheapie shot in a toolshed. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAn unwieldy mix of self-conscious camp and heavy-handed allegory, Automatons plays like a cheesy '50s no-budget sci-fier with serious delusions of grandeur. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallWith its hypnotic pacing, blatantly nonsynchronous sound, clunky robot costumes, and graphic but unconvincing violence, the movie falls flatly between camp and art-house pretension. |
| User ReviewJason DYes! It's like Metropolis and the Toolbox Murders got together and had a student film instead of a baby! |
| User ReviewGregory Wthis now in my top 3 weird bizzarre yet wonderful right behind liquid sky & eraserhead. its a little slow at first but hang in there its worth it. |
| User ReviewRob Hthis movie is the worst movie I have ever seen it's painfully boring and makes my eyes hurt with the tedium of this PILE OF CRAP! |
