After work on Saturday, despite how tired I was, I still managed to drag Allen to watch Robots with me. It's currently the highest selling moving in the theaters
What did I think about the movie? well, I really really liked the details and the humor in the movie. The rust on the metal, the parts that represent a human being, the little puns throughout the movie, and how the things that happened in Robot world is so similar to ours, just in a Robot way.
For example, the robots receive new parts every year to grow bigger like how kids receive new cloths when they grow older. Rodney always had pass-it-downs, and sometimes it was even girl parts (remember how you always had to wear cloths from an older sibling?) There are many parts of the movie where one can relate their experiences to.
And I liked how the movie is filled with trinkets and machinery. Have you ever taken apart the toys that have cranks? inside them is a spiral metal tape-like thing. Well, this mechanism appeared in the movie, where a robot had to crank up the car to drive it every few blocks... it's pretty funny.
Oh the other part was good was the beginning when we meet Rodney. He started as a baby, and you know how when a pregnant woman have a baby, we say She delivered a baby? Well, since they are robots, they can't really deliver babies.. but Rodney was literally "delivered".... by a mailman as a package (mail order babies).. hahaha isn't that funny? ok, so you have to watch it to get the joke.. :(
Anyway, so I liked the movie. But with compliments always come criticisms... of course.. from Michelle.
What I didn't like was how boring the story line was. It's basically a boy who started out as nothing saved the world and became the hero. duh! I mean compare it to Shrek! Shrek was very original, who thought of combining all the fairy tales to creat a new fairy tale? but this movie was really just another Harry Potter (not that Harry Potter is not good, it's my fav. book) but it's just been over done, and since Harry Potter is the best one out of this type of story, Robots can never be as good... story wise.
But I still recommend you guys watch this movie, it'll make you laugh! really!
