Memorable, crazy movie
I'll tell you why so serious
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Being a fan of Antonio Banderas, I find many of his movies to be poorly rated. I held off this movie because of that. But let me tell you, this movie is far from poor. It may have some clichés and what not, but you won't realize it. It's very good and very well acted. The music is exceptional. It amazes me that movies like this has a 30% rating on rotten while John Wick 2 which is essentially rehashed of John Wick has a 89%. Do not follow the reviews, watch it for yourself and judge.
Jacq Vaucan, an insurance agent working for ROC, the company who invented robots, is faced with an impossible situation. He must investigate a case of robots which violated one of the two base protocols which limited their intelligence and actions. He's about to find some disturbing answers, which will ultimately affect humans' future on what was left of Earth.This is a movie which, through its beginning, reminded me of the brilliant "I, Robot" with its robots and their protocols. I was hoping to see something closely interesting to that, but it's light years away from it. Not only is it boring as hell, but it has a plot which is simply stupid, lacking any sort of interest or emotion whatsoever. Banderas' character has no clear implication in the event, often being the man in the middle, struggling to survive some "concerned" superiors and the harsh conditions he's being dragged into. Although the post apocalyptic world had promise, it was simply destroyed by an awful plot which wasn't capable of providing any emotion, tension or suspense. You reach the point when you care more about the robots than you do for the humans and that is a very bad thing. Nothing surprising happens, nothing different from what you would expect and absolutely nothing to change the monotone state in which the movie stands all the time.Its finale is as disappointing as it is predictable, doing nothing to change the bleak impression which this film left. A big disappointment from my point of view, in terms of story, almost non existent action and unimportant characters.
It's one of those movies that should have gotten more attention but due to the trailer and time of release it never made it through the shroud. It's hard to think that this movie only had a 7 million $ budget, The acting is on point the visual effects are in my opinion better than some of the super high budget movies that were released during the same time. What i love about this movie is how dark it is, i'm a fan of dystopian future movies and i have to say this is one of the better ones i've seen in a very long time, Sure it's not as good as the best such as 1984, Metropolis and v for vendetta but it deserves more attention and a solid place in the Dystopian/Dark futuristic movies. To note: I've encountered this many times people who only look at the User rating and if it's bellow lets say 7 it automatically is a "BAD" movie. DON'T be Like those people! Solid 8/10.
