Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
MartinHafer "The Creation of the Humanoids" is a very low budget film. The costumes are pretty cheap (with many folks much like Confederate Civil War soldiers), the sets minimal and the actors all unknowns. But, the plot is very inventive and could have worked even with these shortcomings--too bad the acting and dialog were so bad that the film became difficult to watch. It's a shame, as I could see the basis for some later movies and TV shows in this--including "Star Trek", "Terminator" and "Battlestar Galactica"!The film is set in the future--a future where there are HUGE numbers of amazingly lifelike robots. However, they have skin like Smurfs and talk a bit robotically--so most humans (aside from those from the Order of Flesh and Blood) accept them as a boon. The robots make life very easy for us--and take care of our every need. Like seems very good to most. However, the robots have a secret--they're a lot more advanced than people think and are making robots who look and think like humans--and society might be inundated with them. The neat idea of robots who might be a threat to mankind is pretty good--especially since the film predates so many other similar films. But the acting and robotic talk (of both the humans AND robots!) make this about as dull as they could make it. Too bad. It has a lot of great ideas but manages to make the film a chore to finish.
davidjoyce-736-145009 Actually, I loved the film as a child and still do.It's a great thought-provoking film that helped in my understanding of social issues during and since the 60's. I actually brought up the film during a discussion with a Marxist professor in the early 80's as an example of the attack on American morality by the far left.I liked the basic tenets of equality, but the sister's absurd attraction to a non-human served to subject the minds of young people to extreme non-traditional behaviors and narcissism. Not surprised "they" claim it as one of Andy Warhol's favorite movies.This film serves as yet another example of sixties disestablishmentarianism. (eg: "Silent Running" and environmentalism ten years later.) 9/10 for creativity
gatsby601 Creation of the Humanoids takes us to a future Earth ravaged by nuclear war. Even while maintaining a high standard of living the survivors are suffering from low birth rates and the possible end of mankind. Enter the creation of advanced robots to fill the gap.Sounds o.k. doesn't it? And if you want to consider the idea of robot rights and what it is to be a sentient being this film could be for you.One problem. Creation of the Humanoids is a series of scenes where actors talk and talk and endless talk! No action, no special effects, damn little plot, just monologue after discussion, and then more chit chat. The script for this film must be 200 pages long! Don't get me wrong, I like a good conversation, but that is all you get in what has to be one of the most static, boring films ever made.On the positive side, the silver contact lens looked pretty good.If you have an interest in the subject, rent it and be ready with the fast forward button.
mikelcat This is an above average sci-fi film without the usual special effects where the concept is the attraction , where you are asked to think about the possibilities .In this future man has all but destroy's himself , not to far fetched at all and humanoid robots are performing all the tasks man used to , even loving women .This of course makes the men that are left very afraid and ''The Order of Flesh and Blood ''is the agency that represents the fear of what man has done to himself .The humanoids are all about the good of man but man's blind fears blur this until the inevitable finally happens .This film is quite good and has a lot to say , give it a try and forget about cg and effects .Just let the film take its effect on you .Approach with an open mind !
