The plot: Charles is a womaniser while Elaine is a gold digger. The duo learn humanity when forced to team up and pursue robot doubles of themselves.
I was intrigued to watch this movie.
Robots Movie was alright.
Pros: I did make me laugh at times. I was surprised that Shailene Woodley can do comedy quite well. I like how the A.I. duplicates ended up was quite heart-warming and seeing the duplicates messing with our main characters heads were a joy to watch.
Cons: Shailene Woodley and Jack Whitehall had no chemistry with each other. The music didn’t match with the scene its supposed to be and the dialogue didn’t work for me.
The Casts:
- Shailene Woodley as Elaine, E2 and E3
- Jack Whitehall as Charles Cameron and C2
- Paul Rust as Zach
- Nick Rutherford as Ted Jr.
- Paul Jurewicz as Ashley
- David Grant Wright as Ted Cameron
- Emanuela Postacchini as Francesca
- Chelsea Edmundson as Emily Denholm
- Jackamoe Buzzell as Sheriff Bill Horton
- Samantha Ashley as Deputy Chavez

I still recommend watching this film only on Prime Video.
