Synopsis: In a robot world, Rodney Copperbottom (McGregor) was born in a rural town and travels to the big city to present his inventions to a prestigious company. But the world has changed and profit is now more valued than innovation.
Review: It is nice to watch an animated movie once in a while, as it is the case for Robots. The story is quite classical (the little guy fighting against the big company), the humor is OK but not really deserving big laughts, the animation of the robots is good-looking (although I couldn't fully appreciate it in Standard Definition).
But the movie doesn't exhibit great ideas that would make it memorable. So it was nice to watch but it will not make a long-lasting impression on the public.
Rating: 5 /10
