Lot of A.I. related media in the last week.  Got around to watching the movie Ex Machina with its noir-ish femme fatale ending.  Also caught up with the final two episodes of Person of Interest.  And I'll admit to tearing up, especially with the twist at the heroic sacrifice.  And the love's lost reunion.  And someone picking up their dog.  Then I binged on all 8-episodes of Season 1 Humans, AMC's adapted series about a world filled with domestic use androids.  Which had some excellent acting and some good ideas, but never really pushed foward on some of its' bigger concepts.

The general storyline is a fairly typical super team start-up.  It's a very well done and fun one with a more diverse cast than usual.  But still not much new here.  It's the robot Baymax and his purpose as a health provider and how that intersects with the grief of the lead character where the movie stands out.  That and the lush and vibrant visuals...

Despite several sequences that are basically a FPS set on Impossible I'd swear this movie is less violent than the original.  I can't remember the name of the dude playing Murphy in this, 'cause while he was pretty good I think he was mostly picked since he looked a little like Weller when all Robocopped up.  Really, a decent movie with the best stuff being Nighy's cyberneticist and Keaton's CEO.  But it lacks much of the satirical bite of the original...

There are giant, alien monsters.  And heroicly piloted super-robots punch them in their stupid alien faces.  Plus Idris Elba looks at people sardonically.  What more can you ask for?

Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science written by Brian Clevinger, art by Scott Wegenger, colors by Ronda Pattison and letters by Jeff Powell

Ok, so we've covered Atomic Robo before. And all the main points remain true. Killer dialogue. Sweet action sequences. Robots and super-science. Of course this one, which is about Robo in '31 teaming up with pulp-hero Jack Tarot to hunt gangsters, also actually has appearances by Robo's father, Nikolai Tesla. Plus Robo getting a girlfriend. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, the '11 Free Comic Book Day story which features Dr. Dinosaur. Crazy ol', terrbile plans, funny ol' gun toting Dr. Dinosaur...

The world will always need comics where robots punch dinosaurs in the face...
