The industrial design of the robot in this movie is too beautiful. If there is an ideal robot, it will look like this.
A comparison with the original
1. Narrative
This movie more or less can see the shadow of Asimov's "I, Robot". However, in the original work, the development history of robots is told by stacking individual stories, including small machines at the beginning, dancing robots, and robots that became presidents. These stories would be too messy to be strung together into a single movie for a multi-episode animation, and I think Anne Laroux would be the right director.
From a big perspective, this movie retains the essence of Asimov, and from a small detail, it also reflects some plots of the novel. For example, when looking for out-of-control robots, all the robots shout the same slogan, which is somewhat similar to a plot in the original book. Due to the narrative style and time constraints of the film, this film does not delve into the smaller details, but the overall story is smooth and innovative.
2. wiki, Sonny and Daniel
Both Wiki and Daniel break through the three laws and serve the well-being of all mankind. However, the former approach was relatively immature, and quickly aroused human resistance. The latter, based on the same appearance as humans, allows him to penetrate into human society and influence the process of civilization. Obviously, the latter is more mature.
However, Sonny is different from the above situation. He has a separate system and has a higher priority than the three laws, so that he is not bound by the three laws.
3. About the three laws
In the "Empire of the Galaxy" series, the original work mentioned that the way to break through the three laws is to realize the zeroth law. And in this movie, the inventor brings up the uncertainty of the combination of programs, there is some kind of "magic" that will produce unexpected breakthroughs. This is actually reflected in the constant trial and error of robots in the novel.
In addition, the movie proposes that "the law is for destruction", which must be said to be very clever. For human beings, no matter how elaborate and strict laws are made, crime will occur; for robots, although they obey the third law, who can be sure that accidents will not happen?
2. Comparison with "Real Humans"
The reason for the comparison with this is because it was the last movie I watched about robots. Originally I thought it was not bad, but compared to "I, Robot", it was still a little worse.
Maybe in the former, the logic of character behavior is difficult to understand, the laws of robots are ambiguous, and there is a lot of family drama, which is really not a good thing for a person who is looking forward to watching science fiction; and in this film, there are problems with laws. Discussed in detail, each character is also in line with its character, rather than inexplicably biased towards humans or robots.
