These movies aren’t my favorite or anything; just the one’s I’ve seen. I also found a chronological list of movies on IMBD.
I, Robot(2004): An original script called Hardwired that Fox stitched Asimov quotes. Decent action movie that explores how robotic AGI could change society. video synopsis w/ spoilers
The Animatrix(2003): A series of animated short films that prequel The Matrix Trilogy. It draws parallels between real-life historical events and a future where human labour is outsourced to robots. video synopsis w/ spoilers
The Matrix Trilogy (1999 - 2023): Critically acclaimed, hyperbolic action films that explore a future where AGI enslaves humanity. video synopsis w/ spoilers
Bicentennail Man (1999): An Asimov adaptation starring Robin Williams. An emotional exploration of the essence of humanity using the mirror of artificial intelligence. video synopsis w/ spoilers
HER (2013): A highly prescient and some what’s disturbing film about falling in love with an AI video synopsis w/ spoilers
Small Soldiers
Metropolis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(1927_film)
This “AI” fantasy has been around for a loooong time.
I wonder how long it’s been since the very first time someone conceptualized artificial intelligence.
I think Robocop(1987) might be a foreshadowing movie here soon.
Another classic I never got around to seeing!
I knew I could count on you guys!
‘Her’ is really good
I would add Ex Machina to that list as well both for the creepy developer and the actual implications of the ending.
It was a decent film. I would REALLY like to know how the next few days went though!!
Came here to add this.
Ty. I haven’t seen that one.
Although not explicitly AI, the movie WarGames come to mind.
No Terminator?
I actually haven’t seen it lmao.
Blade Runner? Not AI per se, but close.
Star Trek TOS episode A Taste Of Armaggedon In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise visits a planet engaged in a completely computer-simulated war with a neighboring planet, but the casualties, including the Enterprise’s crew, are supposed to be real.
Woahhh that’s a trippy episode concept! Only seen about have of TOS so thanks for sharing!
Another one is “The Ultimate Computer,” where they replace Kirk as captain of the Enterprise with a new computer system
Ex-Machina (2014). A tech billionaire recruits a young programmer to come to his remote compound to test his new AI android called Ava. The test is whether Ava can convince the protagonist that she’s a real person, despite visibly being a robot.
Ava then proceedes to fuck with everyone, manipulating people into carrying out her escape plan.
It’s a psychological thriller and it’s quite good imo. It definitely has a lot to say about the dangers of AI.
Never seen it ty.
Question: Was south park referencing that movie when they did the whole “ad/Leslie” thing and Jimmy?
Short Circuit (1986) Number 5, one of a group of experimental military robots, undergoes a sudden transformation after being struck by lightning. He develops self-awareness, consciousness, and a fear of the reprogramming that awaits him back at the factory. With the help of a young woman, Number 5 tries to evade capture and convince his creator that he has truly become alive.
It’s a comedy, but the outcome could’ve been different.
Colossus: The Forbin Project.
Demon Seed. We knew it was a bad idea all the way back in 1977
AI (2001) A robotic boy, the first programmed to love, is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee and his wife. Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible.
Ex-Machina (2014) A programmer learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava, a robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined
Star Trek The Motion Picture, V`Ger
2001 Space Odissey, Demon Seed,
