Worst of all, “Robots” has nothing clever or amusing to say about how robot clones would have an impact on society if these robots really had the ability to become more “human.” This sloppily made and poorly conceived film just becomes another rom-com chase movie where the would-be couple spends most of the story denying what most viewers already know is going to happen between them. Charles and Elaine want to pull the plug on their robot clones, but it’s too bad no one pulled the plug on this mindless and time-wasting movie.

A Supplicant in Space: 5/5. A brilliant tale about interstellar travel and diplomacy! The strategies and arguments made by Detringer and the military general are well thought out and the ending is well written. Houghton, Rianne (June 22, 2021).

Because these robots are illegal, and owners could get heavy fines and prison time, there are certain precautions that Charles and Elaine have taken for their respective clone robots. The biggest precaution is that Charles and Elaine have told C2 and E2 that they are not allowed to be out in public at the same time as their human counterparts. C2 and E2, who are always accommodating and friendly, know that they are robots who have to be kept secret. Bring in the acting chops of Whitehall and Woodley, as well as a stellar supporting cast including Paul Rust ( Love), David Grant Wright ( Better Call Saul), Paul Jurewicz ( A Simple Favour) and comedian Nicholas Rutherford, and you’ve got a well-oiled robotic romcom filled with hardwired high jinks and glitchy gags. The character of Elaine is a lot less developed than the character of Charles. The movie doesn’t reveal anything about Elaine’s family or what she wants to do with her life, other than spending money that’s given to her by men she dates. “Robots” spends the first 10 to 15 minutes showing how Charles gets women to date him: He goes to a local ice-skating rink and deliberately falls down near an attractive woman whom he thinks will help him get up.Silversmith Wishes: 4/5.

The Neverending Western Movie: 4/5. What if John Wayne actually had to kill real people in his movies? How does he retire when the nature of the industry is to kill or be killed? That is essentially the premise of this interesting story. The ending is good as well, though perhaps a little predictable. Barsanti, Sam (June 21, 2021).

Slaves of Time: 4/5. A rather confusing tale that plays with the absurdity of time travel and makes several interesting conjectures on the subject. Not a bad read at all, but it can get rather confusing at times.In 2032, after advanced robotics enabled humanity to use lifelike androids as servants and manual laborers, affluent suburbanites Elaine and Charles illegally use android doubles of themselves to avoid the time constraints of dating and the strain of work. Charle's C2 not only does his job, but also 'primes' women so the womanizer can have sex with them.
