    Familiar, Awkwardly Paced Mediocrity Set in an A.I. Dystopia
    Surprisingly for a Dystopian Film about Artificial Intelligence (Robots) the Movie does have a Lot of Heart. The Visuals are Impressive for the Budget and overall Design is Effectively Persuasive. The Acting is Awful and the Asimov Story of Robots and Their Laws has a Bit of Rust.

    The Inevitable Comparisons to I, Robot (2004) and Blade Runner (1982) are Loud and this one is Nowhere Near either of those. It is a Slightly Above Average Entertainment but Not very Well Thought out or Cleverly Plotted.

    Some Scenes work Better than others and when the Robots are On Screen "Alive" and Not in the "Morgue" the Film Intrigues.

    But the Corporate, Law Enforcement, and Insurance Investigators are a Boring Lot. Besides the Social Commentary on A.I., there are nods to Health Insurance, Counting Your Blessings, and Family Values.

    Overall, Worth a Watch with Low Expectations and an Ability to Purge other, Better Movies of its Type from the Data Dump and Enjoy it as a Stand Alone Good Try.
