At least the robots get to think

Rating: 6/10 (15 August 2004)

Remember the good old days when movie protagonists were allowed to have interesting dialog? I guess that's considered box office poison these days. We can now be thankful the movie industry has figured out a way to get intriguing characters into films: add robots. The machines stole the show here - other than their designer, they were the only creatures who showed any signs of intelligence. When the humans spoke, the movie fell to the lowest common denominator with a thud. That being said, the overall look and feel of the film were excellent, and the story was interesting and thought-provoking. The action sequences were so silly they were unintentionally amusing.
