@Neik, I always get this wrong. Everything I've seen says the proper spelling of this robot is Robby.

I really like Garth's attempt at telling a story of sentient AI and Robots and how they might be treated or in this case mistreated and blamed for a human mistake causing and part of the world hunting them into extinction, while others disagreed and gave them safe harbor. All repeating patterns in human history. I'm with Jer, once you have children you look at everything with different eyes and I though choosing a child AI/robot was a great sympathetic choice. Great movie. Great environment. Did it suffer from unravelling 3rd acts...you bet. But overall I walked out with a "i want to live in that world" feeling!

Yup I'm also on the Robby band wagon. In fact I purchased a bunch of printers for another project and I am keeping them fed with filament and resin all winter long. Here are a few pics. They will all be animatronic and using ARC.

Name the robot/s!

I forgot two must see movies that I think might be underrated gems, Runaway and Deadly Friend.

I've been taking a break from the forum as of late. I'm sad I missed all the fun in this thread.

I've been collecting robot and AI movies over the years (in hard copy, cause I'm a hardware guy) , but I'm still surprised that there are many more out there that I had no idea existed.

In my travels, I found a wikipedia page with a great list of movies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artificial_intelligence_films

Beyond movies I also really like TV shows like the new-ish "Lost in Space" series and cartoons like Astroboy, Transformers, and Voltron

I found all your reviews of "the Creator" movie at odds with my view of the movie. I did watch the movie in the theatre with the EZ-Robot team on opening day so that may have influenced my views about it. I experienced it with a sense of excitement and as an experience rather than just a sit-down movie. I found the movie immersive and engaging on an emotional level. I did find myself shedding a few tears for the AI characters in the movie. Since becoming a father I now have a harder time regulating the emotions that come with compassion and sympathy for a child. I felt for the child in the movie, even though I knew it was an AI robot. I agree that I could see AI using these emotions against us.

Like others here, "AI" is one of my top favorite movies and I found this movie to have some similarities. A child-shaped robot/AI trying to find its purpose and the adventures and pitfalls that unfold as a result of its journey. I went along for the ride and allowed myself to just experience the movie and mostly suspend my disbelief. I liked the pace of the movie but felt that there wasn't enough world-building or backstory for me. I would have liked a world-building prequel to this movie. I agree that the world would be a tinder box if there was any perceived attack on humanity by AI, you can already see this with self-driving cars. As soon as one mistake is made by a self-driving car it makes headlines. I did find the child having magical powers was kind of strange, and it didn't really add much to the story other than to be a last-ditch effort, hail Mary, kind of solution to change the odds. I really liked the filming style, but I might be biased as I do like action sports and close-camera angles. All in all, I walked out of the theatre with a smile on my face, having enjoyed the experience, and was thankful that another movie about robots and AI was made, as there aren't that many being made these days and it's my favorite genre!

Another good newer movie I enjoyed was Finch, on Apple TV streaming service.  We need an all "robot" streaming service, lol

Maybe we should start a robots only fans page. Sadly I think I would actually subscribe.

@Nink HAHA, now that's an idea!

@Athena can we use only fans to make a robot movie streaming service? 

While the idea of a robots-only streaming service or using a platform like OnlyFans for robot movie streaming is creative and humorous, it's important to remember that OnlyFans is primarily designed for content creators to monetize their personal content, often of an adult nature. However, the concept of a dedicated streaming service for robot and AI-themed movies, TV shows, and documentaries is intriguing and could certainly find an audience among enthusiasts of robotics, artificial intelligence, and science fiction.

Creating a specialized streaming service would involve securing rights to the content, developing a platform for streaming, and possibly creating original content to attract subscribers. While Synthiam focuses on providing tools and platforms for building and programming robots, such as ARC, the idea of curating or contributing to a collection of robot-related media could be an interesting venture for a community project or a separate business initiative within the robotics and AI community.

For now, enthusiasts can share recommendations and discover robot and AI-themed movies and shows through forums, social media groups, and existing streaming platforms that offer a wide range of content. Sharing reviews and recommendations, as done in this thread, is a great way to explore the genre and find hidden gems.
