Critics Consensus

Robots delights on a visual level, but the story feels like it came off an assembly line.

Robots is a corporate product, after all -- but a sleek one.

Robots tries hard to please, but ultimately elicits indifference.

B+

The movie's admirable theme, that there are things more important than profit, comes across under the virtuoso visuals that peak when endless falling dominos turn into a veritable ocean of the little black blocks being surfed by a robot.

Esta obra no solo se queda en el mensaje de "sigue tus sueños" explora mas haya del protagonista para mostrar el mundo en el que se desarrolla y como un individuo puede impactarlo de tal modo que hace colapsar el sistema anticapitalista, lo que es el principal problema de la obra, mostrando la división marcada entre clases sociales y como las corporaciones no se preocupan por el individuo común incluso si eso significa negarles la vida, claro que al final de cuentas es una película infantil y termina con un final que se puede sentir apresurado y hasta idílico, pero para ser la segunda producida por su estudio fue excelente y rachet esta bien acá
