It was on Channel 4 last night so I watched it for the first time since seeing it in the cinema back in 2004.
Noticed
Shia LaBeouf in it (didn't know who he was until Transformers was made). So he has been in two "robot" movies then has he?
It is still a good, fun movie. Channel 4 cut off the rest of the end credits (are they lazy or something?). Well they showed the animated ones though.
So it was basically Zefram Cochrane from First Contact vs Captain Pike from Star Trek XI? Cromwell's character makes his unique robot Sonny kill him, leading to Del Spooner investigating the trail left for him. The evil AI VIKI later kills the Robertson character.
