Just watched this today - Overall its like a marriage of Peripheral and the first chapter of the animatrix. I'd say its good second screen material, but not a super rewarding watch by itself
spoiler
The movie didn't pick a lane and explore a topic in detail.Robots rebel - Humans win somehow? Robots don't evolve or organize?
Humans are getting sucked into drone surrogates (heh), and lose connection with each other
Smugglers bring contraband back from warzone
Robot and human buddy drama
Any one of these would have been a good movie by itself to explore, all together it feels superficial and nothing has time to sink in or have consequences. It's like a first pass at each concept without exploring the logical extensions of how society would adapt to those concepts over time.
Drinker just released a entertaining review of it https://youtu.be/MVfdnOeM2Hw
I mostly agree with it. He points out the electric state costs the same as 10 seasons of firefly would have.
