Collections at Criticker

This is a collection of films in which an artificial intelligence (AI) is
• HOSTILE TO,
• HARMING or
• ATTEMPTING TO HARM HUMANS
thus violating RULE #0 and/or RULE #1 of the 3 laws of robotics.

(The A.I.'s intentions do not matter, therefore
- the classic case of an evil A.I. trying to annihilate humanity is just as acceptable to this list as as
- a "good" A.I. trying to annihilate humanity to save planet Earth from ecological destruction, or
- a "good" A.I. believing to help humanity while actually harming it due to a different ethical belief system.
The common key element in all cases is that humans get or feel harmed by A.I. action.)

In the special case, where the AI is a robot and engages in a physical fight with a human, the film should be listed both here and in the collection man vs machine.

collection of films showcasing a physical fight between humans and robots (or other intelligent machines).

This is a subset of the collection evil/hostile A.I., which neither requires the AI to be a robot nor requires a physical fight (as opposed to a cyber attack for example).

This collection is for films in which a main character assumes a false identity and the viewer gets to share in his or her deceit. False identity means pretending to be an entirely other person, with false name and fake identification documents. It does not mean pretending to be a school teacher when you are not actually a school teacher, or pretending to be jewish when you're not actually jewish. Please do not add films in which the existence of a false identity is only evident to the viewer at the end of the film. The viewer must share in the deception for the majority of the film for a film to qualify. NOTE: the character must assume a false identity, not just false traits! Pretending to be a certain religion when the character is actually not that religion does NOT qualify as a false identity. Thanks!
