	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Gabe Ibanez’s post-apocalyptic thriller about robots learning to alter themselves is a dystopic mess. (...) feels like a late-night brainstorm at a sci-fi geek convention"	NEG
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"Banderas does work hard to keep us engaged in this convoluted sci-fi thriller (...) After an hour, though, you'll wonder why you didn't just stay home to watch "Blade Runner" again (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"Automata is a disappointing example of a film that lacks the imagination to follow persuasively through on its engaging initial premise"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"There are interesting ideas here, but they are swallowed up in dull, poorly choreographed shootouts and other action nonsense."	NEG
United States	Keith Uhlich Time Out	"The effort to make thinking man's sci-fi is admirable, but it requires a steadier, surer hand. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
