VFX Artists Fail To Recognize Practical Robots In Overlooked Antonio Banderas Sci-Fi Movie

VFX artists fail to recognize practical robots in the overlooked Antonio Banderas sci-fi movie Automata. The film, directed by Gabe Ibáńez, premiered in 2014 and follows Jacq Vaucan (Banderas), an insurance agent working for the ROC who realizes that their technology is beginning to alter itself. At the time of its release, while Automata received particular praise for its visuals, the use of familiar genre elements became a source of criticism among audiences. In addition to Banderas, the movie stars Dylan McDermott, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Tim McInnerny, Melanie Griffith, and Robert Forster.
