... View MoreTo call Robots a movie is to do it a disservice, as would calling the Bible a book. It is no mere motion picture, it is art, it is wonder, it is grace. One can begin to imagine how many lives have been turned around by the iconic line "see a need, fill a need". To say Robots breaks down all cultural barriers in an aptly cold and mechanical real world is only beginning to potray the full picture. From Ewan McGregor's best performance to the deep insights of humanity and corporate cynicism; Robots is truly something that changes a person. The only criticism I have is that it makes your own life feel insignificant and meaningless, especially since nothing better is likely to ever happen again... ... Until Robots 2.
... View MoreThe story is not bad, a robot world with heroes, sidekicks and dastardly villains. I had hoped for more meaningful animation. The heroes look like junk and the villains look like bad jokes. Most of the best bits were stolen from other movies and music. Did any of the bots have a purpose? Lots of famous voices overshadowed by Robin Williams' obnoxious over the top performance. Lots of potential squashed by dopey design and half baked concept. I blame the writers and director but there was so much gone wrong that the producer has to shoulder much of this failure. Let's chalk it up to poor execution and shoddy oversight to let this abomination see the light of day. It is easy to compare this to "Meet The Robinson's" but the comparison is far from fair. Let's just say that if you like this, your standards are very low and please see more quality animation where story meets art and characters like Dory and Rusty teach us entertaining lessons.
... View MoreMy son absolutely loves this movie! Its great and its not a drag like some children's movies for adults to watch. My son is 5, I think this is his favorite movie! Chris wedge did a great job creating this story plot. You can see the creative input from William Joyce as well. It also stars Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Robin Williams, and Mel Brooks. The film is very unique as well for being a kids movie. I would highly recommend this to add to any family movie night like we do at home. As far as a movie about anthropomorphic robots is concerned, its a great story. I love that robin williams is the broken old red robot. Mel Brooks is a great voice for Bigweld. ~ David Bogar
... View MoreWhen it comes to wise-asses at Blue Sky Studios, i highly doubt this film is general enough for kids aged 5-12, This might be a bit of a spoiler, but i did see rather inappropriate scenes, some of the characters have a huge bum and say 'Crap', We see someone s*** themselves, they fart their heart out, they pull their pants down, and of course it has very unreliable violence. I Know Wedge and Saldanha are doing whatever they can to fulfil their destiny, but i don't at all find their films funny, I'm determined to watch Rio (2011) later this year and of course Epic (2013) Next Year, but i'm beginning to hate this film, It's nowhere near general, I Agree with it having a PG but i'm a little unaware of it's ideas, Such as an obese robot creating everything, or maybe even a dishwasher for a father, It's Crazy!And if your watching this Wedge (Or Saldanha, i don't mind) I will prosecute you both, i apologise for your wacky ideas and 'Ice Age' Triumph, BTW Congrats on the Oscar for 'Bunny' ^^
