For this Monday night the visual cuisine is the 2014 Spanish-Bulgarian robot film Automata starring Puss in Boots, also known as Antonio Banderas. Climate catastrophe in conjunction with solar storms have resulted in a dry dystopia with a severely reduced population. All that remains is one city with artificial clouds, a robotics corporation, and its robots. Antonio Banderas plays an insurance agent for the robotics corporation who discovers something very inconvenient for his employer.

Agreed. I remember it getting panned when it came out but when I finally saw it I really liked it.
I've gotten used to film critics not knowing what they're talking regarding the high-concept sci-fi genre. They want cookie-cutter Hollywood "sci-fi" which is just "generic action movie plus laser guns". Handsome-actor-de-jour's character is doing Whedon quips every five seconds and shoots lots of aliens/robots/monsters in his quest to save hot-actress-de-jour's character, and the audience is supposed to buy a relationship with no chemistry and a 20+ year age gap.
