    The title may or may not be misleading (depending on your viewpoint) but it does raise some interesting questions, and if you are at allThe title may or may not be misleading (depending on your viewpoint) but it does raise some interesting questions, and if you are at all interested in the subject matter..it is probably worth seeing. For instance it begins with Asimov's premise that a robot should 1. not hurt a human and 2. obey a humans orders, as long as it does not interfere/break rule #1..and what the documentary shows is that this rule in recent history has now been broken for the first time in history. It also goes into how automation is killing jobs and looks at the impact on society so even if you don't believe robots are or will be "killers"..it is still worth seeing. ( I found both elements very interesting, and then towards the end it introduces a possible 3rd element, but that was less clear to me.)

    Most of the negative reviews seem to be from people who, like Mark Zuckerburg, ...believe that robots pose no threat to humans, while...other people (such as Elon Musk) have some valid concerns on that...

    Definitely worth seeing if you are interested in the subject matter.
