Title: Best Robot Movie
Post by: airman00 on September 04, 2007, 11:41:03 AM

Whats the best movie which featured a robot(or many robots) in it?

I would say Star Wars.
Those droids are cool, man!

What do you think?

I think that HAL9000 in Stanley Kubrick's "2001:A Space Odyssey" stands as the ultimate robot.

hmm. HAL9000 is really awesome BUT those droids in Star Wars look actually feasible to build. ( with like 5k in your pocket)

Anyone built a droid recently? ;)

But I have heard of working R2D2 replicas

Tachikoma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikoma) is my favorite.

I like the way Ghost in the Shell handles all the conundrum of prevalent AI, and what it means to humanity.
