This educational video about cellular automata was filmed, narrated, and edited by Rudy Rucker in 1990, using some "CA Lab" software he worked on at Autodesk. Renamed "Cellab," the software and manual are available for free on Rucker's website, but certainly you can watch the video without using the software. Two-dimensional CA rules discussed include Langton's worm, the game of Life, Silverman's Brain, the Vote rule, the Rug rule, gas-simulating rules, and many others.

Simply Perfect

TrueHello

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
