[SuperBatman]

It is creepy can u imagine if they actually sold those things. max Records is a pretty good kid actor IMO he was good in Where the wild things are. Remind me of child's play when he's saying he's my new best friend.

[Marvel Spider]

Looks awesome.

 

[Electrofarce]

Is this a studio movie? Will it be released in theatres WW? Looks pretty creepy an kinda funny in a way.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

It looks awesome. I hope that it's not super lame G rated garbage in disguise.

 

[The ?ion]

So, I have two initial reactions

1) The plot seems to be directly ripped from iRobot (though hopefully with far less ad placement). The idea of a society that is so reliant on technology, until technology supercede's humanity, has been done many many times in film (the Matrix, iRobot) and in book (e.g. Ray Bradbury, Asimov etc).

2) The robot design reminds me of those old radio shack robots from the 80s. The "Robie" series (in asia, they are called "Omnibot"). I had one when I was a child. I loved it. It could carry things and cart around via remote control and voice command. When I watched the trailer, all of those friendly associations were slowly eroded as I came to reimagine a scenario where my favorite childhood toy was in fact some nefarious device that would bring about some unpleasant denouement.

The film looks interesting. Yes, the plot is rehashed, but there are only so many stories to tell. We effectively keep retelling them. I look forward to this retelling.

I hope it's really as creepy as the teaser makes it out to be. I can't wait for the next trailer.

Just looked it up and it seems this has been making some festival rounds and isn't a full-featured film. It's only about 20-30 minutes apparently. From what I've read it's a good watch, so maybe it has a chance of being picked up by a studio and remade as a full-length theatrical.

Oh man, I love indie Sci fi! This looks great! I really love how indie sci fi is making a comeback at the moment. There was a golden age of sci fi in about the 40's to the '60s then it became a hunting ground for Hollywood blockbusters that got progressively worse. Now the genre is getting back to it's roots

Thanks for posting. I remember seeing the first teaser more than a year ago. At the time, it was called "Bad Robot." Here's the teaser...
