Superb!

With technology advancing at the rate that it does you wonder how long before we have androids walking amongst us behaving and looking exactly like humans .... if they aren't already..... :D

On the other hand, I find things like this slightly scary; maybe I've just watched Terminator too many times.

Try watching Soylent Green and Logan's Run...

I've watched Logan's Run a couple of times - not a bad film. Haven't come across Soylent Green though.

A Google search will bring up a website for 1MDb which gives a plot summary. Keep in mind that it is a movie from 1973 which is about an over populated earth in 2022, totally polluted. Fresh, natural food virtually non existent and people were living on a mysterious wafer known as Soylent which came in red, yellow and green.....

I'll leave you to read the plot from the website if you want to know more.
