I Heart Robots

This was a wonderful little film with a lot of heart. The characters were very cute and our favorite watching was the sweet, young (not sure how old but according to the film "not old enough to save the world") Emotional Support Robot by the name of Q and his antics and "emotional outbreaks".... It was a nice way to spend the evening and made time fly. (Also I believe the film itself is not that long, definitely not long enough to get bored of any of it, maybe it is about 75-80minutes long, would have to check again for exact number. Very sweet movie, would watch it again and recommend if you like lighter materials with more heart than harsh action.

Any review of this movie that is above a 1/10 is FAKE! I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I like Danny Trejo and I feel sorry for him having participated in this horrific mess. This disaster of a movie looks more like a school kid put it together for a project. The scenes look fake and were not realistic. All the acting was terrible and looked and sounded like they were reading their lines off a teleprompter. Most of the characters wandered around in army green T-shirts while Franzi Schissler wore what looked like stripper outfits. The only element of the movie that was remotely entertaining was the music soundtrack. In the future I will avoid any movie with any of these actors as well as any movie produced by Justin Price!

I get tired of seeing the one star ratings by "reviewers" here who think they can elevate their self esteem by slamming a movie. It's entirely as bad as the ten star reviews by the movie staff. Let's be honest. This one has a weirdly paced story, but the writing is not too bad. However you can tell that the writing was patched at the last minute in many places to accomodate footage that was shot, and the availability of the staff or cast. Clearly this was put together from pieces under severe budget restraints. Plot holes and nonsequiturs result. One of the first things you notice is that the fighting scenes are clumsy and amateurish, so they probably could not afford a fight choreographer. That's a severe restriction for a movie with combat sequences and perhaps they should have adjusted the script to minimize that problem. Another thing you notice right away, is that the two sisters in the movie have very different accents, so it's clear they were not raised together. Why didn't the director cast this better, or get his cast to fix their accents? On the plus side, some of the music is fun and the nice robot is endearing. And the lead actress is dressed to attract the eye. On the whole, this might be enjoyed by 14 year old boys. In a world used to movies with a 400 million dollar budget, it should still be possible to make a $400k dollar movie (my guess), a thousand times smaller budget, and it is, but this one has too many faults to be enjoyable by megamovie fans. But for the rest of us, it's barely watchable, and for a few of us, it's possibly sort of fun. Four stars is the right rating. A substandard movie, but still one that someone will enjoy.

I zapped through this and I stopped at a scene here the movie's heroine (presumably, I didn't even check the role list or the movie itself before posting this), and I'm sorry if I'm spoiling anything here, but when you're watching what is supposed to be robots, and the budget doesn't allow for animatronics, and you have to rely on CGI to do the part, you should at least make sure they can fix things like footprints and shadows underneath them, not to mention having fixed locations on the floor, not hovering around, clearly and fully visible, and then hearing someone saying something to the robot in question and you're still thinking about how fake that looked, now you're supposed to believe that she's actually talking to that hovering robot that you can't pass on as realistic, for a movie.

Another observation was her outfit I saw in one scene, some grey spandex with cut-outs that clearly was made for this movie, possibly the scene only, and it looked, well, judge for yourself, but it had no Earthly business in this movie, and I gathered that she was prowling around trying to avoid one of these floating "robots", I think, and it looked so fake and not realistic at all. The overall acting that I saw is pretty bad, cheesy dialogs (Although, first impression was that this would be one of those narrated movies where the main character talks about herself, others and what's about to transpire before the movie takes off, like the movie Tank Girl (Got the same vibe at first), but that didn't last very long, and whatever similarities it may have had died when I saw the bad acting, dialog, well, basically what I just wrote above...

This is just as bad, and possibly worse than A. I. Assault that I accidentally saw in 2006 which has the same flaws with CGI.

One would think that someone should've reacted to "Hey, why is that robot floating above the ground" or "Why is it moving like it had a stick up it's behind?", and possibly many many more mistakes, before releasing it mainstream.

There's also the possibility that they just threw something together with some yahoos just to make a quick buck in the hopes that people would buy this because of the title, which probably most likely the case here.

So, put this movie back in the "Pick 3, pay for 1"-bin and select something else instead! You'll thank me, I promise!

Fake new accounts have voted this above 5? That is way too generous. The whole thing is a joke, its pathetic. From the acting to the story,

The special effects if you can call them that are ridiculous, the whole thing is sad and looks like something a few teenagers threw together in class. I am guessing the continuity editor was on holiday. It is fragmented and the story is broken in so many ways. Its not really a decent story in all fairness.

Calling it a story is complimentary, and stretching it..

It really is that bad. If I had paid to see this I would have left after ten minutes and demanded my money back. I really would not bother but thats up to you. Do not say I did not warn you.
