Reviews

An experimental feature documentary that explores current realities of android development with a focus on human/machine relations, gender & the ethical implications of this research. The film records cutting edge laboratories in Japan & the USA where scientists attempt to make robots move, speak & look human. These scientists & their discoveries are contextualized with cinematic & pop culture references, to underline the mythic, comic & uncanny aspects of our aspirations.

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.
