Excellent film that beautifies the human spirit

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2005)

I was expecting this to be just a really cool action film with awesome special effects, but this film has plenty more to offer. It's an extremely interesting movie that, apart from clearly illustrating how man cannot depend solely on machines, explores the definition of life. Sunny, an MS-5, had been programmed to have emotions. Why would anyone want a robot to have emotions? How can this robot be beneficial to society? Another interesting question that arises is does Sunny have a soul? Does he deserve to be treated with as much respect as any another human being? The movie does a great job of answering all these questions. The central theme of the movie is that machine can never replace man.
