Robots of Mars – ★★☆☆☆
« Robots of Mars » is a sci-fi film directed by Kim Lee. It is set on Mars in 2190. It is about a group of robots who decide to stop working for humans. The idea is original and the special effects are impressive. However, the film is far too long (two hours and forty minutes!) and the characters are not convincing at all. I nearly fell asleep in the middle. The ending is also very predictable. To sum up, it’s not really worth watching, unless you are a big fan of robots.
