I really like the robot effects in this.
I was intrigue by the way the robots moved so naturally, uhm robot like(!), rather than the usual sleek Hollywood computer generated perfection. It did seem quite a lot of the time they they were held up by wires or hand manipulated.
Does anyone know how much was computer generated?
Love those animations, was questioning wether it was real, old school puppetry or wether they faked it?
Another reason this movie is awesome.
When he put the battery in the robot's hand it was obviously a real arm and hand model, because it wouldn't grip it correctly (changes position in the next shot).
But overall I thought the robots were perfectly done. And surprisingly not as comedic as they should be with all the shaking, they just looked creepy.
It did remind me how the remake of Westworld is coming along, and whether they could do it as well as this movie.
Obviously, the shot of the hand is of course puppetry, because its easier to do, you just hold a hand on a stick out of shot, and film someone wiggling it.
I meant the wide shots, for example when they were walking in single file through the desert, and there are 4 or 5 on screen. That looks like full torso\body, puppetry.
You say easy, but it that scene was not done very well.
When they were next to the actors they seemed very real, I liked the full length standing scenes they did, looking like they were only just controlling their balance.

Ha, brilliant. Thanks for that.
So they were all really there, apart from the bug creature. I thought they got the lighting looking very good on the CGI! LOL, a much better idea to actually make them, especially for the actors talking to them.
Green screening has come a long way.
Sort of. Nice job mixing things, like sometimes the arms are CGI, but the rest is puppets and rotoscoping. Very clever, and worked very well.
The bug thing I didn't much like. Thought it was too different for something made of the same parts, so was already alien/scary before it grew spikes, and it just was a tiny, tiny bit less real than the rest of it. Just a bit.
Fantastic. Thank you so much. It reminded me of how the first Terminator movie was done.

Wow... Awesome.... The way they changed the setting and scenery was flawless... The Robot fx were also amazing.
