John U @RT71087623 Jul 22 I really liked this, even though at times it was a little chaotic. Actress Claude Perron as the robot maid Monique holds the story together. For me the underlying message was that while AI can quickly get out of hand and go into a terminator-like "kill all humans" mode, AI that interacts with humans closely over time will develop more "EQ", a sensitivity to and ability to appreciate human emotions. When the Yonyx police/soldier robots run amok, it is the lowly Monique who outsmarts them and saves her human friends. There is a cute sight gag where Monique directs her human's attention to a mirror with which to deflect the Yonyx's laser by moving only one eye. I need to find out what other movies Ms Perron has been in. See more Amelia A @RT49304715 Apr 21 Quirky and imaginative, a refreshing take on a classic sci-fi dilemma. It's a fun watch, at times creepy dystopia at times camp humor, with a sweet thematic undertone on what defines our humanity in an era of automation.

Imaginative, great acting. You have to get into the zone. Don't expect a typical movie. I wish they made more like this. This is from the director of City of Lost Children, one of my favorite movies ever, and Amelie. This is a piece of art. Have patience, don't expect a Marvel movie. See more prosaic s @RT12746352 05/06/2025 This film has a lovely aesthetic, a compelling cast, and makes for a create abet subdued viewing. The word subdued is critical, for this film despite occasionally having pretences of action is definitely more concerned with its human elements (who are constructed and acted well, although occasionally clichéd). The plot of the film is initially intriguing due to the apparent helplessness of the protagonists and their resulting relatability to the audience, although this choice forces the movie into a dous ex machina to reconcile the power imbalances between robot and human. This leads the ending to feel rushed or anticlimactic as the actions of the character in the preceding fight mattered little. Overall, worth the watch.

Con algunos de sus actores que le acompañan cuán barco se va hundiendo. Casi dos horas insoportables para plantear un tema simplón. See more Read all reviews
