For a classic robot movie, I can't imagine that a movie that is less than eight years old can have such advanced ideas. This remake should not be as good as the original. After all, robots and sci-fi themes have become a mainstream of movies, and the transformation of human beings The debate is not so intense, basically admitting that machines with autonomous intelligence can think like humans and are accepted by the majority of people. Of course, this is not the main theme of this movie.
The movie is not as intense as I imagined, and there are no special special effects shots in the limited shooting scenes. I remember that the two guns in the original version are particularly outstanding. I may realize that it is difficult to make characteristics in this regard, and the remake has not been done. many renderings.
After Murphy's mechanical armor was removed, the picture with only the chest and head was surprising. There was no such plot in the original work. It may be that the technology at the time did not do it, but this picture appeared in this movie. , do not need any language, do not need any expression, from the heart of any person can see the pain, the helplessness of losing all, everything is controlled by others, even feelings and thoughts are also controlled by others. Human control, every breath and every breath are all the arrangement and design of the program. It can be said that this picture makes up for the lack of a big battle scene in this film.
Murphy's family and feelings are indeed more than the original version. Although there is no intense pain and struggle, it can be reflected from the side of his wife and son. After all, the emotional excitement of being a robot can easily lead to "crash" consequences. It can only be said that the plot of this movie is more evenly arranged. I can only give three stars, plus one more star for the classic remake.

RoboCop quotes

  • Alex Murphy: Holy Christ, there's nothing left.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Your body may have gone, but you're still here.

    Alex Murphy: That's not even my brain.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: We had to repair the damaged areas, but we didn't interfere with your emotion or your intellect. Do you... do you understand me, Alex? You're... you're in control.

    Alex Murphy: I'm in control?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Yes.

    Alex Murphy: Okay. If I'm in control, then I wanna die. Just unplug whatever it is keepin' me alive and end this nightmare.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Now, say I did that - w-which is, as a doctor, would almost be impossible for me, but... but say I did. Wh... w-what do I say to your wife? What does she say to your son?

    Alex Murphy: That it didn't work. That you tried. Somethin' went wrong. You did everything you could, but I died.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: So after all they've been through, all the pain, all their hope restored, we would just rip that away? Your wife loves you, Alex. She signed the consent forms herself; otherwise, you couldn't have undergone the procedure. She loves you and she gave you a second chance. I need you to take it.

    Alex Murphy: I don't wanna see myself like this again. Ever. And the same goes for my family. Just put me back in.

  • Liz Kline: Dr. Norton, how... how is he doing this?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: His software is faster. His hardware is stronger. He's a better machine.

    Liz Kline: But you said humans hesitate.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Only when they're making decisions.

    Liz Kline: He's not making decisions?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Well, yes and no. In his everyday life, man rules over the machine; Alex makes his own decisions. Now, when he engages in battle, the visor comes down and the software takes over, then the... the machine does everything. Alex is a... he's a passenger, just along for the ride.

    Liz Kline: But if the machine is in control, then how is Murphy accountable? Who's pulling the trigger?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: When the machine fights, the system releases signals into Alex's brain making him think he's doing what our computers are actually doing. I mean, Alex believes right now he is in control, but he's not. It... it's the illusion of free will.
