Robots (2005)


In a robot world, a young idealistic inventor travels to the big city to join his inspiration's company, only to find himself opposing its sinister new management.

Set in a quite imaginative future this is fun to watch, if sometimes a bit too fast-paced.

First Lines: Lautreamont - The Songs of Maldoror
