Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

So. I'd been a bit skeptical about the robot/AI-saving-the-world-by-destroying-people* plot last summer but Ultron is not like any other robot I've seen. (If there are more Ultron-like robots, please share.) Even better second time!


*There are approximately 1000 movies and more books with this theme. Yet we are still trying to create it.

WALL·E (2008)

I never thought robots could be so empathetic, even after everyone I spoke to said nice things about them. The spork thing was funny. Where do they go: with the forks or with the spoons?

I'm finding the humans were freakishly funny-but-not-funny.

*batteries not included (1987)

I was lent this as a feel-good '80s film, which it is.

Because sometimes it's nice to just sit back and enjoy something, to not have to worry about figuring stuff out or your new 'friends' dying, to be immersed.

And those are the cutest alien-robots I've ever seen.
