I Heart Robots

The movie is quick and fun, and honestly, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Franzi Schissler, who plays the lead, is absolutely gorgeous-she totally owns the screen. Her character's mix of badass and vulnerability kept me hooked. The effects, though, needed some work. You could tell the budget wasn't huge, but the movie's heart made up for it. The story, set in a dystopian future where humans and robots are at odds, is full of action and keeps things moving at a good pace. It might not be a blockbuster, but it's got a cool, indie vibe that makes it stand out. Perfect for a train ride when you want something entertaining without having to think too hard. Franzi alone makes it worth watching, but the movie's energy and pace keep it engaging all the way through.

"I Heart Robots" is an unexpected gem on Tubi that echoes the dystopian vibes of classics like "Blade Runner" and "The Terminator." Starring Franzi Schissler and Danny Trejo, this film dives into a world where robots, once our creations, have turned against humanity. It's a familiar narrative but told with enough heart and originality to keep you hooked. Watching it with my family, we were surprised by how engaging it was, especially given Tubi's mixed bag of content quality.

Schissler shines as Terra, a determined survivor on a mission to save what's left of humanity with her robot companion, Q. While the story falters in depth and leaves you wanting more, the film's execution and the chemistry between the characters make it an enjoyable watch.

Given Tubi's reputation, "I Heart Robots" feels like it belongs on a platform like Netflix, where it could reach a wider audience. The low score reflects the story's need for more development, but it's a solid pick for a family movie night if you're looking to catch up on some decent sci-fi. It's not perfect, but it's a fun, thought-provoking journey through a dystopian future.

I Heart Robots is definitely a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this flick during a usual train ride to school and wasn't disappointed. It's quick, fun, and honestly, it's the kind of entertainment us younger folks appreciate-straight to the point without dragging on. Now, let's talk about Franzi Schissler. She's not just good in this; she's drop-dead gorgeous and completely steals the show with her charisma and action-packed performance. I've noticed some low ratings floating around, and I can't help but think they've got to be from Baby Boomers or old-school cinephiles who can't appreciate the simple pleasures of VFX robots and stunning actors doing their thing. Since when did we start hating on cool visual effects and beautiful people saving the world? This movie delivers all that with a style that's perfect for anyone looking for a fun ride without the pretentious cinematic fluff. Seriously, if you're into fast-paced action and want to enjoy your popcorn, give this movie a shot. It's worth it for Franzi alone, but you'll stay for the sheer enjoyment.

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.
