I Heart Robots

I Heart Robots is definitely a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this flick during a usual train ride to school and wasn't disappointed. It's quick, fun, and honestly, it's the kind of entertainment us younger folks appreciate-straight to the point without dragging on. Now, let's talk about Franzi Schissler. She's not just good in this; she's drop-dead gorgeous and completely steals the show with her charisma and action-packed performance. I've noticed some low ratings floating around, and I can't help but think they've got to be from Baby Boomers or old-school cinephiles who can't appreciate the simple pleasures of VFX robots and stunning actors doing their thing. Since when did we start hating on cool visual effects and beautiful people saving the world? This movie delivers all that with a style that's perfect for anyone looking for a fun ride without the pretentious cinematic fluff. Seriously, if you're into fast-paced action and want to enjoy your popcorn, give this movie a shot. It's worth it for Franzi alone, but you'll stay for the sheer enjoyment.

I get tired of seeing the one star ratings by "reviewers" here who think they can elevate their self esteem by slamming a movie. It's entirely as bad as the ten star reviews by the movie staff. Let's be honest. This one has a weirdly paced story, but the writing is not too bad. However you can tell that the writing was patched at the last minute in many places to accomodate footage that was shot, and the availability of the staff or cast. Clearly this was put together from pieces under severe budget restraints. Plot holes and nonsequiturs result. One of the first things you notice is that the fighting scenes are clumsy and amateurish, so they probably could not afford a fight choreographer. That's a severe restriction for a movie with combat sequences and perhaps they should have adjusted the script to minimize that problem. Another thing you notice right away, is that the two sisters in the movie have very different accents, so it's clear they were not raised together. Why didn't the director cast this better, or get his cast to fix their accents? On the plus side, some of the music is fun and the nice robot is endearing. And the lead actress is dressed to attract the eye. On the whole, this might be enjoyed by 14 year old boys. In a world used to movies with a 400 million dollar budget, it should still be possible to make a $400k dollar movie (my guess), a thousand times smaller budget, and it is, but this one has too many faults to be enjoyable by megamovie fans. But for the rest of us, it's barely watchable, and for a few of us, it's possibly sort of fun. Four stars is the right rating. A substandard movie, but still one that someone will enjoy.

Fake new accounts have voted this above 5? That is way too generous. The whole thing is a joke, its pathetic. From the acting to the story,

The special effects if you can call them that are ridiculous, the whole thing is sad and looks like something a few teenagers threw together in class. I am guessing the continuity editor was on holiday. It is fragmented and the story is broken in so many ways. Its not really a decent story in all fairness.

Calling it a story is complimentary, and stretching it..

It really is that bad. If I had paid to see this I would have left after ten minutes and demanded my money back. I really would not bother but thats up to you. Do not say I did not warn you.

The movie is quick and fun, and honestly, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Franzi Schissler, who plays the lead, is absolutely gorgeous-she totally owns the screen. Her character's mix of badass and vulnerability kept me hooked. The effects, though, needed some work. You could tell the budget wasn't huge, but the movie's heart made up for it. The story, set in a dystopian future where humans and robots are at odds, is full of action and keeps things moving at a good pace. It might not be a blockbuster, but it's got a cool, indie vibe that makes it stand out. Perfect for a train ride when you want something entertaining without having to think too hard. Franzi alone makes it worth watching, but the movie's energy and pace keep it engaging all the way through.

"I Heart Robots" is an unexpected gem on Tubi that echoes the dystopian vibes of classics like "Blade Runner" and "The Terminator." Starring Franzi Schissler and Danny Trejo, this film dives into a world where robots, once our creations, have turned against humanity. It's a familiar narrative but told with enough heart and originality to keep you hooked. Watching it with my family, we were surprised by how engaging it was, especially given Tubi's mixed bag of content quality.

Schissler shines as Terra, a determined survivor on a mission to save what's left of humanity with her robot companion, Q. While the story falters in depth and leaves you wanting more, the film's execution and the chemistry between the characters make it an enjoyable watch.

Given Tubi's reputation, "I Heart Robots" feels like it belongs on a platform like Netflix, where it could reach a wider audience. The low score reflects the story's need for more development, but it's a solid pick for a family movie night if you're looking to catch up on some decent sci-fi. It's not perfect, but it's a fun, thought-provoking journey through a dystopian future.
