		Anita Singh Telegraph	"I had expected the documentary to be chilling, but it was worse than that: it made this AI future feel dully inevitable (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"I did really like (even if it was scary) seeing how AI-powered robots are used (...) But it does also result in a documentary that wasn’t as fulfilling as it could’ve been (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Watching the mesmerising military tech on show here is to watch a terrible beauty being born – one that could annihilate us all (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"Big ideas make for fascinating documentaries, and 'Unknown: Killer Robots' is definitely that."
