In space, on Mars, things can go wrong. And do.

But what’s an investigator into a space accident to do when the AI “assisting” her in the digging has a mind of its own?

Sci-fi on a budget, for sure. But “2036: Origin Unknown” reminds us just how far ahead of the curve 1960s sci-fi (“Star Trek,” “2001”) was in terms of “We have nothing to fear but the Artificial Intelligence which displaces us.”

Gravitas Ventures is unleashing “Origin Unknown” which co-stars Steven Cree and Julie Cox, at the end of summer (speculating here). 

Yeah, we’re all thinking of HAL 9000 after “Upgrade.”
