The robot was too.....boxy.
Just a very dull, boxy design.
That's the best they could do?
Nolan has terrible imagination
shareSeeme like an inefficient design for something that should be graceful
shareI guess it was different and hadn't been done before. Literally is just a series of powered hinged boxes.
shareI think the idea behind the robot design was that it could be integrated into the spaceship between two seats, where it would function as a computer and navigation system. I think they even used it as a touchscreen, which would further justify the flat design, but I might be wrong.
Other than that, I agree. It looked really odd when it picked up Dr Brand and ran away with her.
