Not that we shouldn't push filmmaking in new directions or utilize computers for more than Klondike Solitaire, but "Automavision" — which sounds like a Kraftwerk cover band — is probably not going to win the Oscar for Best Picture anytime soon. Although if it's any good at tracking motion, it could be a studio boss' wet dream. ("Boot up the director and let's get this show on the road!") Besides, artistic expression is all about intent. Remove the art and you're left with Michael Bay, Joel Schumacher, and maybe a Brett Ratner or two.</p>
