This has to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, Netflix’s BIGBUG, the new film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, director of Amelie. The film will come to the streamer on 11th February and follows a group of bickering suburbanites who find themselves stuck together when an android uprising causes their well intentioned household robots to lock them in for their own safety.
The full synopsis is as follows:
In 2050, artificial intelligence is everywhere. So much so that humanity relies on it to satisfy its every need and every desire – even the most secret and wicked… In a quiet residential area, four domestic robots suddenly decide to take their masters hostage in their own home. Locked together, a not-quite-so-blended family, an intrusive neighbour and her enterprising sex-robot are now forced to put up with each other in an increasingly hysterical atmosphere! While, outside, the Yonyx, the latest generation of androids, are trying to take over. As the threat draws closer, the humans look elsewhere, get jealous, and rip into each other under the bewildered eyes of their indoor robots.
Maybe it’s the robots who’ve got a soul – or not!
Very much looking forward to seeing this one later next month.
Here’s the trailer.
