Trust the Midas Touch:

 

 

They had us at the title: AUTOMATA, a movie starring Antonio Banderas

Poster for Automata

Watch the trailer here:

The trailer looks interesting, though we will say  we’ve seen “this kind of thing” before, so we’re a little nervous. We hope it won’t show robots in a negative light (it doesn’t seem to), because we are very pro-bots (man-made, god-made, or whatever-made).

Why doesn’t Vulcan/don’t the gods have a greater role(s) in THE AUTOMATION? Because this (SO this):

Wired.
Wired.

Seriously. I don’t think I’ve seen a good “Greco-Roman Myth” movie since…Troy? And even then there were literally no gods in that movie. None.

And for all of you thinking about mentioning 300, no. We will NOT be talking about that homophobic movie that calls Athenians “Boy Lovers” when Spartans were also “Boy Lovers.”

Like I said, no good Greco-Roman “myth” movies lately. That’s why we should, um, maybe stick to them in books. Like, oh, I don’t know THIS ONE.

We are in love with this video

We also love how she mentions Vulcan. It’s very important to pay respects.
