Reviews

In the realm of indie sci-fi, 'Auton' certainly turns the tables and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The film makes excellent use of its limited budget, with impressive CGI effects and a gripping storyline. While some may find the pacing a bit slow, the tension gradually builds up, leading to a satisfying climax. The performances of the cast, particularly in portraying the fear and desperation faced by the characters, are commendable. Despite its flaws, 'Auton' manages to deliver a thought-provoking take on the dangers of artificial intelligence. Rating: 3.5/5 - Metacritic
