Critic Reviews for Origin of the Species

All Critics (2) | Fresh (2)

  • Experimental filmmaker Abigail Child is drawn in by the allure of AI and robots. It is a complex issue that of artificial intelligence. Not one for the faint of heart.

  • The robots in the movie aren't real people, but Origin of the Species creatively shows the technology behind these robots so that it's understandable to real people.
