With the release of Terminator Genisys, the latest in the franchise, I thought I’d test your knowledge of man versus machines. Below is a collection of Hollywood films from different decades showing machines electronic devices can be evil in all kinds of ways. As always, the decade of each film is included, with answers at the end. Feeling confident? Why not give it a go.

Four out of six, Alex. I missed “I, Robot” and “Transendence.” My excuse is that I didn’t see them!
I think you got the right four 🙂 I, Robot was disappointing and I don’t think anyone liked Transcendence!
Got them all, Alex. Thanks!
Nice one Cindy 🙂
Yay! 5 out of 6 Alex! I missed Transcendence, but I didn’t see it either.
Not bad 🙂 Did anyone like Transcendence? It got panned by everyone.
I don’t know anyone who went to see it.😕
First time I got them all, Alex. 🙂
Congrats 🙂 http://usarmy.vo.llnwd.net/e2/c/images/2012/06/27/253709/original.jpg
Yeah, six of six!
Great stuff Francis 🙂 Hope you’re having an awesome weekend.
Got the last one – and I haven’t seen it 🙂
It’s a good film. Alan Turing was an inspiration. I think you’d like it 🙂
I certainly would. I hope to see it
100% Sweet! I surprised myself. Seen them all. Nice little quiz, Alex!
Thanks David. I can remember the days when the best two sequels were to The Godfather and The Terminator.
And Empire Strikes Back. And maybe Aliens, too. But I agree.
Would be a cool idea for a quiz at some point.
Hmm, yes. That would be. I’d like to how well I would do.
Got ’em all!
You are a machine…no wait 😉
I suck lol. I loved the Imitation Game and 2001: Space Odyssey. Got those.
Those are two of the best ones on the list 🙂
No wonder I remember. 🙂
I got the four most recent right 🙂
What did you think of Transcendence?
I thought it was pretty awful in all honesty
This might be my first ever 100%. Gotta love a bit of sci-fi!
Well done dude. Great stuff 🙂 I’m trying to think of other science ones I’ve done. You might like this https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2013/10/27/film-quizzes-films-set-in-space/
Whoo-hoo! 5/6. I missed 2001: A Space Odyssey… but then I have never seen it.
I saw it years ago around the time I was doing Film Studies at college. Didn’t like it, or really get it but probably do need to see it again. Cool score again 🙂
I got 4/6 missing 2001: A Space Odyssey and Transcendence which I haven’t seen. I’m excited I got Tron and The Matrix since I haven’t seen them either. Apparently I need to watch more movies about machines.
The general consensus from everybody seems to be stay away from Transcendence. Shame, because the director has worked really closely with Christopher Nolan so he obviously has loads of potential. Cool score though.
I, Robot (2004) ❤
Will Smith has been around for ages!
I got 6/6! Wahoo! Love this series Alex.
Well done and thank you 🙂
5/6! Who knew I’d be so good at machines! 🙂 Only missed the first one but thats because I haven’t seen it yet.
Sure has been a successful topic for a lot of people 🙂
Its a nice change 😉 I’m usually so horrible.
Glad you did well 🙂 Sure it will continue in other categories.
