New Trailer For AUTOMATA Is Intense And Epic

Just a week after the first posters emerged, we now have a trailer for Gabe Ibáñez's new sci-fi film Automata. And it looks pretty great, if I do say so myself. It looks a lot like it takes after Isaac Asimov's I, Robot, with the inclusion of laws of robotics and somewhat familiar motifs of the self-conscious artificial life form. But there's something definitely new here, with not only the usual futuristic noir city, but the desert landscapes, prevalence of global dystopian issues and a more international flavour.

The year is 2044. Earth is in political and ecological turmoil. An insurance agents of a robotics corporation routinely investigates the case of manipulating a robot. What he discovers will have profound consequences for the future of humanity.

Sci-fi is definitely going through a renaissance, and some of the best new speculative films are coming out of Spain right now. It looks like Automata will be no exception. US audiences will have the opportunity to see it starting October 10th, and hopefully more of the world soon. Immerse yourself in the trailer below.
