"In the not too distant future" (as it shows when the move first start), robots are made and serving humans like so in all robot movies. But this one movie talks about a special unique one. A household robot named Andrew Martin (Williams) after its serving owner family, Martin, who eventually begins to feel for human emotions. He accidentialy broke one of his master's daughter's toy and tries to find a way to make a new one, which soon made him create the creativity to build things throught curving wood. Eventually within time to come, he has learned many things and tries to become a human after understand so much of humans feelings and emotions. It seems to me that about half of the flim, Robin Williams did not appear a lot until in the middle of where Andrew's progress of being a human where he has his human appearances. So it didn't seem like Williams did too much in this movie while Embeth Davidtz (who plays as master's daughter when she becomes an adult and the granddaughter of her) seem to appear more in this flim that the main character Williams did. Still the effects of Andrew the robot seem quite good and fair since it appeared about half of the movie. The movie really got me thinking how humans lives are so short. Through the robot, we see that human lives are very short and that we don't get a lot done in a lifetime and there goes our lives as we continue to age and die. Which also made me thinnk about what the master of Andrew (Sam Neil) said that we don't have a lot of time. Nonetheless, quite an interesting movie though some people might find it boring but still worth watching. |
