Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
someguy889 I saw this movie recently at an independent theater nearby, and after the film director and star Greg Pak was there to answer questions and answers. First of all, this small, bearded, laid-back man looked nothing like he did in the movie: a muscular, completely shaven, stiff robot. This small movie is very independent, made on a very small budget, and in a couple of the four short vignettes, that shows. The most touching segment is called "Clay," in which an old man must choose between a normal death or keeping his mind alive for ever. This is the most mysterious, most touching, smartest, and works the most on the small budget and resources. The other three are decent. Pak's movie has the simple message: that the human heart will always prevail, even if Robots take over most human activites. In the first segment, a woman embraces a little plastic robot that looks like an egg with eyes drawn on by a Sharpie marker. In the second one, an old woman searches the cities for little action figures that are supposed to be extremely valuable. In the third, a robot falls in love with another robot. The fourth is Clay. This movie is far from perfect, but the quirks and touches of human life are enough to see past the imperfections and inconsistencies. My grade: 7/10
David Eastman Science Fiction is a great device for writing about social politics, and these four short films do this well in some way or another.The first story is the sharpest, and questions how we value motherhood against normal human values. The serious point, that babies are truly alien to your life, is well made.The second film slighly connects love of science fiction with withdrawl from real life. And this film was in a Sci-Fi festival!The third film is light relief, but does explore alienation and fear in a simple way.The last film is in someways the most traditional, in that it looks at the ultimate mechanization of human life. All these stories are in turn funny, sexy and intelligent - I wouldn't say that any were original, well produced or deep. A good film for a new director.
gumby-8 this feature film of 4 short films was a lot of fun and very watchable. the direction and pacing of all four shorts were excellent and I never once looked at my watch during the film.when this film comes to your town, i highly recommend that you check it out.
hapa-1 Caught the film at a special preview in Los Angeles. Four Twilight-Zonish stories with themes spanning birth to death. Particularly liked Tamlyn Tomita in "My Robot Baby" and the amazing actress who played the grieving mother in "The Robot Fixer." It's incidentally the best looking tape-to-film transfer I've ever seen.
