These Robots shine but the story needs a wax

While the gee-whiz factor is at its highest setting with regard to the animation and rendering wizardry, it turns out to be that age-old, time-honored thing called a plot that needed an overhaul in this overworked fantasy.
What Robots offers in special effects hardly makes up for its lackluster story devoid of those necessary script elements we've come to trust: sensibility, identification, goals, problem, struggle, jeopardy and triumph. Films such as The Incredibles and Finding Nemo had it in spades.
Your kids will like it, but you'll be yawning. |
