Okay as "art," I suppose, but not okay as SF

What the heck IS it with these guys who make Killer Robot movies, anyway? Let's set aside the fact that anybody who bothered to stay awake during high school physics would have recognized the "power drain" error which is a significant part of the plot. Would the robot not have melted down had it tried to absorb that much energy? Wouldn't the inductive charging system be limited in how much juice it could pass? Or how about the "advanced" robot taking an older robot's arm and just sticking it in place? What about the "security" failsafe that guaranteed visitors would be locked IN so that they could starve to death? Let's ignore a whole ship load of bad plot holes that we could put in a list.
How about the fact that anybody associated with advanced technology or robotics could quote you Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics from memory, but the filmmakers never even bother mentioning them? In fact, the only movie where Asimov's Laws are mentioned is "I, Robot," very loosely based on the book of the same name. But no movies that deal with AI or any kind of robots EVER BOTHER to refer to Asimov's Laws. Stupid.
The truth is, nobody who ever creates an AI will allow the thing to operate without some version of Asimov's Laws in place because they don't want to get sued. Simple. Movie producers don't recognize this, though, so our suspension of disbelief is stretched past the breaking point. So it is with this flick. Oh, well.
One thing I have to mention about this movie: music. The tunes are great and almost make this thing worth watching. Other than that, though, the delicate interaction between the AI and the hero is washed under by all the stupidity of everything else going on in this waste of time. Ick. Watch at your own risk, folks.
