David Karlak’s short film titled
Rise shows the war between man & machine.
In the near future, robots have developed advanced emotional sophistication and their human creators don't like it. What should have been a simple and violent extermination of artificial life proves harder when a captured robot demonstrates that the human aggressors are biting off more than they can chew.
The late
Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin delivers an incredible performance that gets viewers to sympathize with the plight of a creation that is no longer wanted by its creator.
