The Calling is a mystery thriller with Susan Sarandon, Donald Sutherland, Christopher Heyerdahl. It's about a string of murders through Canada that appear to have a sinister religious meaning. Great cast and an interesting premise, but just didn't live up to it's potential. The dialogue was mundane, never felt connected to characters and the overall feel seemed more somber than suspenseful.
The Calling 5/10
Automata is a sci-fi thriller starring Antonio Banderas, Dylan McDermott and Melanie Grittith. Solar storms have killed off 99% of the earth's population and automata robots have been created to help rebuild. Banderas plays an insurance agent that investigates claims that a robot was violating one of the two security protocols, cannot harm humans and cannot alter itself or other robots. Visuals are pretty good considering the small $7million budget. It was a little slow in some parts, but had a decent story.
Automata 6.5/10
