<div class="im"> <div><div>Automaton, or Automata. Something like that. I saw it once: absolutely terrible movie, even by indie standards. I can't find it on IMDB or Google. The patriarchal figure is her grandfather, who left her recorded messages. Promising premise, but the movie itself was just... bad.</div>

<div><div>hello NB folks,</div><div>can you help me remember the name of this scifi flick? possibly from the 70's or 80's.</div><div> </div><div>~Its set in a dystopian future, presumably after some kind of global apocalypse, and humans send robots out to fight other robots, possibly because the atmosphere is so toxic only robots can operate outside.</div>
<div> </div><div>~Its very minimal and diy, the entire film takes place in a bunker where a young female repairs robots to send them back out to fight. the robot fight sequences look like tabletop shobox modeling in very stark black and white sequences.</div>
<div> </div><div>~The film attempts an anthopomorphisation of the robots as our hero interacts with them, they are her only companions, and we experience a bit of grief as they expire in war.</div><div> </div><div>~the only contact our protaganist has with other humans is with some patriarchal figure over short wave or video as he spouts out war propaganda and tactical information.</div>
<div> </div><div>i dont remember much else about this movie or how it ends. It may be a locally produced underground film for all i know.</div><div>thnx </div><div><span><font color="#888888">Douglas</font></span></div></div>
