Last night, I watched Robots. Actually, a better discription to say I laughed almost the entire time, while watching Robots. It was absolutley unbelievable. The story was great, the one liners were great, the visual effects were great, and even the music a perfectly composed.
The nice thing I liked about the movie is it was not overdone. While, "Robot City" had amazing detail and, in fact, overwhelming it was not overdone. I didn't get the impression that they were trying to prove that they could "shoke an awe" the audience with their superior design and computer effects. Instead, the effects were mastered and almost unnoticed (a perfect quality for the background of a movie). I was once told in a photoshop class. "If you have to add a shadow to the photo and the first thing a viewer notices is the shadow, then you over did it and the photo is useless." Robots by no means over do the subtlies at all.
My only complaint about the whole thing is an Ice Age short that featured Scrat. They showed it at the beginning and there was a "to be continued..." at the end. So, they left us hanging without anyway of knowing what happened or when we will see the next installment. I even waited until all the credits were over to at least see Scrat falling into a neverending abyss, but I was disappointed that there was nothing.
