Robots is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".
“The projector's on fire. Literally.”

If exposition were a contact sport, Robots would be banned for life.

Robots treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

Robots: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Robots?
Just got out of Robots and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Robots actually is?
Everyone praising the Robots performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: Robots is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Robots was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
