CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
ne Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
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
gabrielle-4 This is a lovely movie -- thoughtful, thought-provoking. It's a quiet meditation of the stages of life -- from birth to death -- and the love we find or hope to find along the way. Using Robots, the movie shows us the basic need for love and surprising, prescient takes on our humanity. Pak presents a delightful view of the future that echoes the best science fiction -- a realistic extension of the present that may be a bit surprising, but also recognizable, and with both good and bad developments. A feeling of hope underneath the pensive melancholy of the film, its abrupt end leaves us with a question and desire to change our own futures, to guard our sense of humanity, and to find love in our all-too-brief lives.
Jeffery Lando Beautifully shot and very moving.I found all four stories very strong and riveting. Great performances throughout in particular Sab Shimono's portrayal of the old man. Each chapter left us with a bittersweet moved and inspired kind of feeling.Don't go looking for regular science fiction here. This is a good art film. The robots don't kill anyone, for the most part do their utmost to fit in. They are metaphors and mirrors that Greg Pak uses to reflect back into our very souls.
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.
