Mars Express

“The rare example of an animated feature that warrants an almost immediate rewatch upon completion, if only to appreciate the craftsmanship of its presentation.”~Toussaint Egan, Polygon

Aroview: A high-concept animated sci-fi from France that depicts an ultra-sleek 23rd Century future with far-out ideas that seems scarily not-so-distant.

Planet Mars provides a colonized alternative to Earth where humans and androids co-exist, and where the deceased are replaced by 'back-ups'. It's an AI espionage thriller where consciousness is data that can be stored, duplicated, hacked and stolen and where the robots are in as much mortal danger as the mortals. Essential sci-fi for existentialists.
