THX 1138
Why this pick
A stark, depopulated technological society and deliberately detached style make this a strong companion for the original’s austere post-human speculation.

Marjorie Prime
Why this pick
A restrained chamber science-fiction film that treats artificial replicas less as spectacle than as a quietly disquieting way to examine memory and human connection.
05
Ex Machina
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The Earth is suffering the aftereffects of a Nuclear warfare that destroyed 92 percent of humanity. Lingering radiation has caused the birth rate to fall below replacement level and the population continues to decline. A robotic labor force maintains a high standard of living for the survivors and the humanoids of the title are an advanced type of robot created to directly serve and otherwise work closely with human beings. These humanoids are built with artificial, ultra-logical personalities and they appear human except for their blue-gray "synthe-skin", metallic eyes and lack of hair. The humanoids periodically visit recharging stations they call "temples" where they also exchange all information acquired since their last visit with a central computer they call "the father-mother".
