Robot Stories (2003): Winner of over 23 awards, "Robot Stories" is science fiction from the heart, four stories in which utterly human characters struggle to connect in a world of robot babies and android office workers. (6.0)
Director: Greg Pak
Writer: Greg Pak
Stars: Tamlyn Tomita, James Saito and Vin Knight
Written, directed and acted by a largely Asian American cast, this set of stories looks at different aspects of what might be the future of human-machine interactions. The stories try to break the stereotypes of not only what we expect from robots, but also from the characters and actors. I also liked the fact that the stories were short enough to not push til the inevitable feel-good ending for each one. The movie has a somewhat amateurish feel but this isn't a "robots take over the world and humans must fight" story. My Rating: 6.5
