'Automata' Movie Trailer, Release Date [VIDEO] Antonio Banderas And The Robot Uprising [WATCH]

The first trailer for director Gabe Ibáñez's sci-fi thriller Automata premiered this week almost out of nowhere. Though we don't know much, this first look at the movie starring Antonio Banderas in a desert-covered future Earth at the start of a Robot sentience movement has us in high anticipation for its October 10, 2014, release date.

Automata's overall concept might not seem too different, the look and feel of this film - as we can see from the first trailer - is definitely something to consider when thinking of other movies that tackled this subject in the past. Think I, Robot meets District 9 and Blade Runner - then you've got an idea of this new movie.

Check out the first trailer for this movie right here and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below:

Here is the (lengthy) synopsis of Automata:

Fast forward fifty years into the future, planet earth is in the midst of gradual desertification. Mankind struggles to survive as the environment deteriorates and the slow regression of the human race begins in AUTóMATA. On the brink of life and the reality of death, technology combats the prevailing uncertainty and fear with the creation of the first quantum android, the Automata Pilgrim 7000. Designed to bring support to society's plight, man and robot reveal what it means to co-exist in a culture defined by human nature. The descent of civilization is juxtaposed by the rise of ROC, the corporation at the helm of robotic intelligence. Despite the demise of humanity, the company has set forth security protocols to ensure mankind always maintains control over the manufactured population. As ROC insurance agent, Jacq Vaucan (Antonio Banderas) routinely investigates cases and complaints surrounding defective androids, he begins to uncover the secrets behind who is really manipulating the Automata Pilgrim 7000. Jacq's own suspicions propel the mystery- uncovering a truth that is far more complex than the make or model of any machine.
