"...the movie's loving attention to light and shade transcends its hermetic setting and meager budget. At times the buzzing static and fizzy backlighting recall the glistening surrealism of the filmmaker Guy Maddin... enormously endearing"
-- Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES
"Automatons is what happens when Eraserhead and Tetsuo the Iron Man bong themselves into oblivion and collaborate on a minimalist avant-garde sci-fi cheapie shot in a toolshed... Robot radness achieved! Budgets are for bitches. "
-- Nathan Lee, VILLAGE VOICE
"It's not a film of compromise but of sheer determination, refusing to be defined by its budget and liberated by a decision to overcome its bank account with sheer imagination."
-- S. James Snyder, NEW YORK SUN
"Ed Wood, the notorious director of Plan 9 From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda, has risen from the dead and returned to filmmaking as James Felix McKenney... And I mean that as a compliment."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST
"AUTOMATONS is a smart, thought-provoking tale equipped with the moody ambiance and intellectual integrity of a classic episode of THE OUTER LIMITS. That's high praise indeed."
-- Steven Puchalski, SHOCK CINEMA
"The beautiful indie sci-fi film AUTOMATONS is a troubling vision of things to come.
Enough to make you think, worry and pray."
-- Louis Fowler, ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHRONICLE
"Automatons is an excellent homage to the movies of yesteryear, and will be quite a thrill for anyone who misses those old days."
-- Steve Anderson, FILM THREAT
"It's sci-fi existentialism at its rawest..a kind of WAITING FOR ROBOT, if Samuel Beckett's tale had involved warring machinery... the best Super-8 home movie made by a 12-year-old boy in the body of an adult that I've seen in a very long time."
-- Scooter McCrae, FANGORIA
"The robot action is often much more riveting than similar scenes in movies with many times the budget and technical sophistication."
-- Jay Seaver, UGO.COM
"AUTOMATONS is a wonderfully made, socially conscious low budget film and I cannot recommend it enough."
-- Brian Harris, JOE HORROR.COM
"AUTOMATONS does what all good sci fi stories should."
-- Adam Barnick, ENTERTAINMENT INSIDERS
"Best Shoestring Sci-Fi of 2006"
-- Jason Silverman, WIRED
