About This Movie

Android is a curious mix of sci-fi and thriller, directed by Aaron Lipstadt. It has this understated tension, really, as you follow Dr. Daniel, played by the always intriguing Klaus Kinski, and his quiet assistant Max. Their isolation on the space station feels heavy, almost claustrophobic. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the atmosphere to build gradually. The film's themes of humanity and artificial intelligence delve into some thought-provoking territory. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that adds to the overall aesthetic. And let’s not forget the dynamics between the characters – the interest in the female fugitive adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. It's definitely a unique entry in the early '80s sci-fi landscape.
