Leave your thoughts about The Truth About Killer Robots.
| Film InquiryMatthew RoeThe film's ambiguousness and excellent expounding of its vivid futurist subject matter make it one of the more essential entries into the discussion over artificial intelligence. |
| Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardKiller feels lurid, thanks to creepy music and editing. That betrays and trivializes some serious issues. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakPozdorovkin expertly curates stories, philosophies, and dangers into a narrative that explains how Skynet should never have been our greatest fear. It's always been ourselves. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiKiller Robots is both spooky and fascinating, at least when the short film is not repeating itself. |
| NonficsChristopher CampbellThe Truth About Killer Robots is thinner in its content and less focused in its thesis than I'd hoped for. |
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedHomo sapiens as we have heretofore known it is going the way of the dodo. |
| The Pop BreakMarisa Carpico...The Truth About Killer Robots feels more like the rantings of a recluse in a tinfoil hat than a chilling warning from an informed expert. |
| Reason OnlineGlenn GarvinEventually Killer Robots dissolves into pure silliness. |
| User ReviewKen LWatching this movie was bittersweet. I found it absolutely captivating, and at the same time scary as hell to see just how much robots are doing for humans now. |
| User ReviewCarl LIf you have never seen anything about robots then this may interest you. Other than that its bland. To get over then blandness the director chose to make the narrator sound like a robot and to have fake facial recognition displays for every person who talks to make it look like it'd a robot doing the film. |
