Loved it! I really liked that robot view looked like it was using feature detection.


I liked that and the initialization screen on the "face" -- like old-school arcade machine bootup test screens. Really lends to credibility of the robot as a device.


I love the description on their blog about why they made this film:

"This is not a film about robots going haywire and becoming hell bent on world domination. The fear of machines is well trodden ground. Instead, Dr. Easy suggests that these machines function perfectly but have an impossible task, because humans are faulty machines."


Amazing, disappointed it ended I was really into it. Something like this could be made into a whole movie.


Happily, that is what they are planning. This is the apparently based on the first chapter of The Red Men by Matthew De Abaitua.


Hideously bad dialog.


Very wooden. Almost synthetic. Definitely stiff.


spoiler, don't read if haven't watched:

I was expecting the robot's drug send him to sleepy land.


I figured that would undermine the whole thing, like how no-one uses the Red Cross or Crescent as cover (well, almost no-one, someone has probably done it, but it is obviously nuts.)
