The top 5. 0 robots and AI computers in the movies Who doesnt love robots Our metal friends have long been a source of inspiration, wonder and fear for filmmakers and audiences. A way to examine our own humanity, and view emotions or lack of them from a new perspective, artificial intelligence has been in films for almost as long as weve been making them. We seem drawn to them, more often that not casting them as our creations gone rogue and seeking to rise up against us, but sometimes as tragic figures wanting to be more like us. Either way, theyre fascinating, and pretty damn cool. Sonny I, Robot. Brought to artificial life by the brilliant Alan Tudyk, Sonny is the robot at the heart of the Will Smith blockbuster, which really bears no resemblance to the seminal short story collection by Isaac Asimov, other than acknowledging his three laws of robotics for those who dont know A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. However, Sonny is the best thing in the film, with a subtle motion captured performance hinting at the humanity lurking within, and for a film about robots, its probably a good thing its most memorable character is one4. Shiro Robot Robo. Geisha. One of those bonkers Japanese films that really has to be seen to be believed. I sadly cant include the Robo. Geishas of the title due to them actually being cyborgs, but I can include the baddies headquarters which turn into a giant robot at the end in order to walk to Mount Fuji and deliver a device 1. Nope, I dont know why it was specifically 1. But what I do know is that the two Robo. Geishas have to fuse together in order to defeat this behemoth. Quality. 4. 8. Alfie Barbarella. Heres Barbarellas computer from her ship Alpha 7. Alfie doesnt actually do a great deal, but he does enable Jane Fonda to float around naked while he flies to Tau Ceti. Which he then promptly crashes into, maybe because he was a bit distracted. However, Alfie redeems himself by getting to fly through the core of the planet. To be honest, Alfie gets his place on this list for being one of the campest sounding things in one of the campest films ever made. I salute you Alfie, good job. Bubo Clash of the Titans. What did the remake of Clash Of The Titans miss the most Thats right, Bubo. When Zeus orders his daughter Athena to give up her pet owl Bubo so it can help Perseus, she creates a mechanical version of it instead, which turns out to be far more useful to our hero. Not content with showing Perseus the way to the Stygian witches, Bubo also fetches Pegasus for the weakened Perseus, and then takes on the Kraken solo before helping kill it with Medusas head. Not bad for a comedy sidekick. And proof that robotic versions of living things are better. Rosey Jetsons The Movie. One of the most iconic and recognisable robots for many people, Rosey the Robot was the helpful robotic maid of the Jetson family. Based on the eponymous character from the TV show Hazel, Rosey came from U RENT A MAID, had a boyfriend called Mac, and rolled around on wheels while cleaning the place. Shes also proven to be one of the most durable characters from the cartoon, with recent appearances in AT T advert about the history of robots of course, and the video for the Kanye West song Heartless. She also makes a memorable appearance in the Futurama feature, Benders Game, where she is imprisoned for killing Elroy and Astro, Everything must be clean. Very clean. Thats why the dog had to die. He was a dirty dog. Also that boy Elroy. Dirty. Dirty. 4. 5. Sexy androids from 2. One of the most stylish parts of this incredibly good looking and gorgeous film is the sections set in the fictional future world of the train leaving 2. In it, a Japanese man named Tak is running away from his memories when he falls in love with one of the trains beautiful android assistants. Believing that the androids responses have slowed down over time, he waits patiently for it to tell him it loves him back, before realising the android is already in love with someone else. Mirroring the plot of the main film, this is a heart breaking and stylish way of getting your point across, usefully using robots as a metaphor for people not returning your feelings. The Golden Army Hellboy 2 The Golden Army. I enjoyed the first Hellboy immensely, but I loved the sequel. For me its the perfect fusion of Guillermo del Toros two disparate careers, the larger budget Hollywood fare, and the more personal dark fantasy work. Drawing heavily on a steam punk aesthetic, the titular Golden Army are initially incredibly rendered in the films amazing animated opening sequence, where their power is demonstrated, before appearing in full live action glory at the end. The best bit is when you think theyve been easily defeated by Hellboy and the others, before reassembling and showing themselves to be unstoppable clockwork killing machines which will conquer the world for their master. Bomb 2. 0 Dark Star. I do wonder if one day well look back at Dark Star and view it as way ahead of its time it seems to capture perfectly the mundanity and madness of what life aboard a spaceship in deep space would be like. On a 2. 0 year and counting mission to destroy unstable planets using artificially intelligent nuclear bombs, the Dark Star suffers an accident which leads Bomb 2. During its period of enlightenment, Bomb 2. God and destroying the ship. Which is probably what would happen if a nuclear bomb became self aware and questioned its role in the universe Brilliantly offbeat, Dark Star is an early John Carpenter classic, and Bomb 2. Jinx Space. Camp. Even as a young boy, with dreams of becoming an astronaut cruelly dashed by my failure to win a competition on CBBCs Newsround to go to a real life Space. Camp and this film on repeat, I kind of hated Jinx. The chubby robot grounded by NASA for being too rubbish at his job is responsible for not only wrecking Kathryn and Kevins alone time, but then decides to sabotage a billion dollar shuttle in order to make his new friend Maxs wishful thinking of wanting to be in space come true. By sending them up in a half finished shuttle with no oxygen or radio. Nice work. Hes still allowed in Mission Control though. No wonder the space program has effectively been shut down. Mecha. Godzilla Godzilla Vs Mecha. Godzilla. A great and literal example of a Mirror Villain, a baddie who represents and twists all that makes our hero good. Mecha. Godzilla is one of my favourite monsters, mainly because hes as powerful as the big G, and normally can only be taken down by two or more guys helping Godzilla. Hes got a rainbow coloured laser beam that shoots out of his mouth, a spinning head, and missiles in his fingers and toes. Hes also made of space titanium, which as everyone knows is the best kind of titanium. Most importantly though, he is a worthy foe for Godzilla, the type of threat which the films needed in order to put a real sense of danger and jeopardy in them. Cult Movie Clips The Hybrid Union. And for that, Mecha. Godzilla fully deserves his place amongst the elite. Unicron Transformers The Movie. There are many, many reasons why this planet sized transformer deserves a place on this list. Here are just two of them. Firstly, hes the perfect example of ramping up the scale and threat of a villain when a popular TV show makes its big screen transition. He gets an entire prologue sequence entirely dedicated to showing just how badass he is. If you were a fan of the show the fact there was a bad transformer capable of eating entire worlds would have blown your tiny mind.
