A corporation takes advantage of a grieving mother by using her to test a prototype robot in the guise of a little boy played by the actor from The Sixth Sense – (1999 movie) playing himself but in this movie.

Maybe in context it was special, but it’s pretty obvious and tedious, and the incredibly drawn-out and potentially multiple-endings fucking suck man. If you’re into robots, you should totally watch this.. once.

  • I’ve seen this before, some time ago, at least once but possibly more than once.

  • Reading

    • The ruined world and dystopia are glossed over in just so much text.
  • 1:15 — Climate alarmism and the population lie.

    • The polar ice caps melting and the cities being drowned by the oceans, just like the 1988 predictions which totally came true.
  • 2:00 — Just like solar panels, robots need maintenance and are a horrible long-term solution.
  • 5:30 — This is exactly the right actor for exactly this presentation.
  • 6:15 — Oh, humans can love objects easily enough. Women fall in love with text.
  • 7:15 — Twenty months later.
  • 8:00 —

    • Robin Hood
    • Robin of Sherwood was a TV series.
    • Michael Morpurgo is in fact an author, but I see no reference of him writing “Robin of Sherwood”. He wrote Outlaw: The Story of Robin Hood in 2012 though, but recall that this movie was from 2001.
  • 11:15 — Maybe teach the robot to blink and not see dead people..
  • 11:45 — Did he really expect a woman to know what to do?
  • 13:30 — See also Humans – (2015 show)
  • 15:15 — Are you sure this isn’t a horror movie? Any believed mother would consider it..
  • 16:30 — The mug teleported out of her hand.
  • 18:30 — Yes, married couples don’t lock the bathroom door.
  • 20:45 — Putting that thing in her son’s room would absolutely not fly in this world. I guess in their dystopic future she’s been trained and damaged enough to act like this..
  • 21:30 — So I guess the kid is in suspended animation?
  • 25:30 — So are the roles reversed now? The woman becomes a mommy (since she can’t be a parent). So the toy is a surrogate. So just like I said, women can fall in love with text.
  • 34:45 — The Adventures of Pinocchio – (1883 book), by Carlo Collodi
  • 44:30 — Good thing there are men around, since all the women are doing nothing at all.
  • 54:30 — This is exactly the right actor for exactly this scene.
  • 1:08:00 — Oh my god, is that Chris Rock? Apparently that character’s name is “Peanut Butter”.
  • 1:13:00 — Time (magazine)
  • 1:13:45 — Why the fuck would people be standing so near that?
  • 1:14:00 — White elephant
  • 1:16:00 — A play on “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” from John 8:7
  • 1:24:00 — So about getting those men hookers?
  • 1:26:30 — This is a parody of Albert Einstein.
  • 1:30:45 — That’s the voice of Robin Williams.
  • 1:31:00 — Manhattan
  • 1:46:30 —

    • Why would they all be made the same? People going outside would meet one another and see their clones.
    • Why would one of the robots move?
  • 1:47:30 — Aah yes, now I recall this stuff. This is ending #1; suicide.
  • 1:48:00 — So does he float? Are there currents? Are those mecha fishes?
  • 1:49:15 — Ending #2.
  • 1:50:00 — Ending #3.
  • 1:40:15 — Handy that it’s submersible, and that he can now pilot it. It would have been cool if it leaked, given that he doesn’t need to breathe. That would be a commentary on how this thing isn’t designed for this.
  • 1:53:00 — Ending #4; trap him and fade to black.
  • 1:54:00 — “Please make me a real actor.”
  • 1:55:30 — Ending #5; he fades away.
  • 2:06:15 — Teddy has pockets for some reason. Ending #6; just fade to black.
  • 2:07:15 — So.. what are the ethics here? Are they making an automaton? How will they make her act correctly? Is it all based on his memories of her? Eww.

2:09:30 — Given that they have many cells, I suppose they could keep some individuals alive for a thousand years of single days. Or just keep people awake for forever.

  • 2:09:45 — This is some bullshit..
  • 2:11:45 — Oh my god make this movie stop.
  • 2:12:45 — The hair had the memories up until the point it was cut, therefore she is horrified by him.
  • 2:13:15 — I’m still confused as to how the robot cries but can’t drink.
  • 2:14:15 — So she’s dumb and can’t remember anything else? Oh, she’s artificial..
  • 2:16:00 — Seven candles.
  • 2:17:00 — I guess the aliens/future robots are marionetting her.
  • 2:18:00 — But Teddy was immortal and basic human philosophies compelled him to take over the alien race and start a civil war leading to their extinction THE END.

You know what, this was a tedious movie with nothing unique to it. Maybe in it’s time I liked it, but that punchable kid and the multiple long-winded endings spoiled it.

The future world is screwed, and humans struggle to survive in a poisoned world filled with monstrous insects.

About as good as you’d expect for a Japanimated movie from 1984, which is damned good.

10,000 Days - (2014 movie) image

The world was hit by an asteroid and is knocked off it’s orbit, and future survivors become desperate during the new ice age.

Not well acted enough to be serious, and not quite campy enough to be fun. It’s not bad, but it’s not good, especially since it’s basic premise is stupid. Not recommended.

In a future Vancouver, a copy is swept up into politics and stuff and things..

Great effects and environment, but the writing is weak and the acting is atrocious.

A missing father leaves clues that lead to a mysterious building that leads to other worlds.

While it doesn’t feel slow, it ultimately doesn’t get far enough to come across as anything other than a pilot episode for a TV series. Not recommended, but it’s good enough that for people who are vaguely interested in the science fiction of it, it might be worth watching on a second screen.

A man awakens and discovers he is trapped in a low budget movie.

It has no redeeming qualities; pass.

That's in the movie very briefly twice but has no purpose.

A world is all ruined and planty, and people use plant technology to get by. I guess.

Plants are gross and dangerous. I mean it’s a movie I guess, but it’s not.. greater than it’s grossness.
