The Robot Who Looked Like Me: Stories

Product Information

Voices: 1/5. I don't understand this story. Perhaps the absurdity of it is supposed to be a play at satire, but it poorly delivers on that front. During this wretched and very tedious misadventure, Charles and Elaine turn to the person who sold them C2 and E2 in the first place: a nerdy inventor named Zach (played by Paul Rust), who hastily says to Charles and Elaine that C2 and E2 are starting to take on more human qualities, such as falling in love and having complete freedom of choice. There’s no logical explanation given for why these robots have suddenly taken on more human qualities. Zach says that C2 and E2 have to be destroyed because C2 and E2 could expose Zach, Charles and Elaine for being involved in these illegal robot transactions. Robots with artificial intelligence could have come up with a better movie than the filmmakers responsible for the drab and unfunny comedy “Robots,” an embarrassing dud that fails to blend sci-fi and romance into an interesting story. It’s hard to believe that anyone who read the dreadful “Robots” screenplay actually thought that this junk was worth getting made. All of the movie’s cast members have the depth and personality of decommissioned robots in their hollow performances. Charles uses his robot clone, which is called C2, to impersonate Charles at the office, do domestic work for Charles, and go on romantic dates. As shown in “Robots” trailer, Charles also makes C2 shave Charles’ pubic hair in his genital area. The only time that Charles wants to be on a date as himself (and not sending the C2 robot in his place) is when he knows he’ll be having sex on that date. Ritman, Alex (June 21, 2021).

Worst of all, “Robots” has nothing clever or amusing to say about how robot clones would have an impact on society if these robots really had the ability to become more “human.” This sloppily made and poorly conceived film just becomes another rom-com chase movie where the would-be couple spends most of the story denying what most viewers already know is going to happen between them. Charles and Elaine want to pull the plug on their robot clones, but it’s too bad no one pulled the plug on this mindless and time-wasting movie.

The character of Elaine is a lot less developed than the character of Charles. The movie doesn’t reveal anything about Elaine’s family or what she wants to do with her life, other than spending money that’s given to her by men she dates. “Robots” spends the first 10 to 15 minutes showing how Charles gets women to date him: He goes to a local ice-skating rink and deliberately falls down near an attractive woman whom he thinks will help him get up. The Store of the Worlds" (1959, appeared in Store of Infinity, also known as "The World of Heart's Desire") Emma Roberts was originally cast in June 2020, until Shailene Woodley replaced her in June of the following year. [7] [8] [9] I See a Man Sitting on a Chair, and the Chair is Biting His Leg" ( The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jan 1968; co-authored with Harlan Ellison, although Ellison is not credited in the book edition) Concerns a man who is chased through a futuristic Las Vegas-like city by inordinate objects with an unnatural affection for him.

What is Life?" ( Playboy, Dec 1976) A traveler in Nepal is asked the title question by a Voice from the mountainSo, what’s the s(w)itch? The year is 2032 and lifelike androids have been legalised in human society to work as servants and manual labourers. But of course, there’s always someone that ruins nice things. Meet Charles (Whitehall) and Elaine (Woodley) who both own illegal robot versions of themselves, named C2 and E2 respectively. The Fault in Our Stars, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Last Letter from Your Lover, and To Catch a Killer are among her other well-known film and television series credits. While the film focuses mainly on these two characters, it also features a large ensemble cast that includes Emanuela Postachchini, Richard Lippert, Chelsea Edmundson, Casey Messer, Barney Burman, Tiffany C. Adams, Samantha Ashley, Nic Wolfe, Jennifer Ingrum, and many others.

Charles’ father Ted tells Charles that Charles is required to attend a company board meeting at the home of an important board member named David Schulman (played by Richard Lippert), who will be meeting Charles for the first time at this meeting. Instead of rescheduling the date with Elaine for another evening, Charles breaks his biggest rule about C2. He decides to send C2 to the board meeting instead, while Charles keeps his date with Elaine. Their motivations are simple enough: instead of navigating the complex world of dating themselves, they send their computerized counterparts to do the dirty work for them. Genius! However, what they don’t anticipate is the two doppelgängers falling in love and announcing to their dismayed owners that they’re running away to get married. Serves them right…The movie’s supporting characters are even emptier. Charles has a moronic and schlubby best friend named Ashley (played by Paul Jurewicz), a former U.S. Army chef who is currently unemployed. Ashley is a politically conservative bigot who blames immigrants and robots for his inability to get a job. Ashley serves no purpose in the movie except to show up and act like an idiot. The friendship between Charles and Ashley looks completely phony.
