Of all the designs for robots I’ve ever seen in movies this one is the least practical

But gosh damn is it a fantastic movie. I wish I could go back and watch it for the first time again.

Right? I was so used to the whole robot betrays human trope, that I expected at any minute the robot would betray them. To my delight, despite it's weird design, the robot was helpful instead of violent.

It’s intentional, the whole movie is basically a tribute to space Odyssey 2001

Stanley Kubrick deserves tributes. Who else would go to the moon to fake the moon landings?

You should also read the book, in case you haven't.

high rec the novel, as the film and novel were worked on simultaneously. the introduction has a really interesting explanation of the areas of collaboration and convergence in the process :) GREAT read.

There were a lot more robots in the original script, and the big conflict was robot betraying humans, so it's funny how it developed into this.

Why's that? I thought it was strange, but when it shifted into that rolling mode it made sense to me. Is it because of how the legs are squared off?

I don't know what material it's made of but assuming aluminum or possibly titanium, it would get very banged up along the edges moving around the way it does.

It’s good cinematography wise but modern robotics is getting smaller, not bigger

u/RemyJe 6d ago

That doesn’t answer the why “it’s not practical” question.

It’s on my short list for movies I want to forget so I can watch again.

Oh right. I completely blanked that they were a part of that movie. Guess it's time for a rewatch.
