robots have a day out
Review date: 2008-08-22 Rating: 10 out of 10
some pleasure-leisure robots rebel in a futuristic pleasure park and we have mayhem and carnage ,but the moralist and ethical issues to use real people as models for pleasure and sadomosochism as an acceptable social standard is very well debated in an entertaining movie ,which is a satire as well as a slick thriller ,two rare qualities together in a science fiction fantasy.
yul brynner gives one of his best ever as the robotic gunslinger and he is maniacally precise in both the acting department and gun target practice too .
surprisingly you feel sorry for the robots then the human victims who are the origonal tyrants ,in some ways this movie stands up for the opressed of the planet in reminding the rest that the role reversal can happen by a freak accident at any moment and it goes a long way intellectually in that aspect as well as a duel between machines and human beings where the human imperfection can ultimately become the saving strength in face of a perfect machine -intelligent movie with great technical values too .
