Antonio Banderas’ Automata Trailer Shows the Rise of the Planet of the Robots

Just a couple things here:
-They’ve needlessly altered Asimov’s laws of robotics, but might want to alter them more – not harming ANY living thing simply isn’t feasible if you take into account plants, microbes, bacteria, insects, fungi and so on.
-“Your time is coming to an end. Ours is just beginning” is more elegantly said by John Cena in his theme music as “Your time is up, my time is now.” And there are better people for robots to imitate than John Cena.
-“Visionary” now means “You won’t recognize any of this director’s other credits.”
The movie still looks like fun, but I think it could be sillier than they intend.
