Robot World


With a little bit of free time this weekend, I actually watched a movie. I wanted something Sci-Fi and dystopian, so I was intrigued by a film titled Robot World which is streaming on Hulu. This is a film from 2015. It's a one of those old style indie films. A lot of hand-held camera. Very little dialog. Lots of slow pacing. Luckily, that's my kind of film.

It has a really clever plot twist about half-way through that makes it read like a Twilight Zone episode. It's not the most original twist, but is extremely well done. I enjoyed that it didn't come at the end, which gave the movie time to explore the implications of the twist and left me thinking about humanity, space travel, and perils of belief.
