Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

KAWAII PrInCeSsr Overall, good film. Definitely recommend it. Especially if you're willing to watch a movie with the family. They have shown some good points that we can definitely learn from. But I'm afraid it's way too long. After watching halfway through, you'll definitely feel exhausted and bored. As at the end, the plot may become too overwhelming. Like they only made it longer just for the sake of having a longer film to produce.

algorait Nice try, but since I am huge fan of Dr Asimov, I can't help but judge. The love story infused with the movie is understandable, yet brings down the phenomenal story to just a regular movie. Andrew was never portrayed as the true leader scientist he became and that he could defy the second law using pure logic. What really threw me off was the second to last sentence of the movie. This is an order, which is a complete disobedience of the First law of robotics. If you are improvising and adding extra extra stories please at least have the courtesy of following the ever first sentence of every Isaac Asimov's robotics book. "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

Neil Welch Andrew is a household servant robot who is self-aware and anxious to learn about the human condition. As time passes he conscientiously works towards emulating humanity in terms of understanding, physical upgrades, and emotional connection with people with whom he interacts. And love becomes important...This rather odd film, based on an Isaac Asimov short story doesn't fit comfortably as a science fiction tale or as a comedy, but its considerable romantic heart - and the rather deep concepts it embraces - mean that both the humour and the science fiction are entirely fitting.The supporting cast are all pleasing (the age prosthetics applied to them vary from excellent to a bit dodgy), with Embeth Davidtz delightful as Andrew's main connecting points. But the film belongs to Robin Williams in one of his best performances. Lost under a robot mask for much of the film, he conveys great emotion by way of a rather flat and apparently emotionless delivery. This is an emotional film, and may result in tears. Assuming you're not a robot, of course.

Python Hyena Bicentennial Man (1999): Dir: Chris Columbus / Cast: Robin Williams, Sam Neill, Oliver Platt, Embeth Davidtz, Wendy Crewson: Filled with images of hopelessness that one could easily experience in rush hour traffic. It is about a robot who wishes to become human. It is 2005 and the robot becomes the newest household appliance. Sam Neill has a robot delivered to his home and he discovers that it has many human aspects. Depression sets in when the robot lives on while everyone else dies. The film never has fun with his journey. Director Chris Columbus approaches the material from different angles. He previously made Mrs. Doubtfire and Stepmom, also about supplementary role models. What is truly disappointing is that the film fails to have fun with its charming premise. Robin Williams is basically playing a robot version of himself. His whole journey is basically a bunch of subplots of little interest. Sam Neill is wasted in what amounts to a growing-old-and-die role. Platt's character is a buffoon who should go back to playing with lego.then there is a useless appearance by Embeth Davidtz that amounts to absolutely nothing. It raises questions about life and relationships but hardly uplifting when presenting these themes. Visual elements are great and are the film's best element but how can a robot find life if the story he is in is totally dead? Score: 5 / 10
