Movies about robots and AI
Movies about robots, humanoids, A.I (Artificial Intelligence) which for some reason grow an appetite for world domination much like the British with their navy in the olden days. No visa required, just invade and loot. 200 years later, tighten your borders and treat the colonised peeps with total suspicion when they land at Gatwick or Heathrow.
I hope you enjoy this list. The difference between A.I here and A.I on the hackers list is that this A.I has a human or physical form. In the Hacker's list, the A.I is pure software.
Let me know if there's anything I missed. x

- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.I found it boring but most people I know loved it. It's the only Terminator movie worth watching (by their standard). Anyway you got to start somewhere and it's either the original Terminator or Robocop.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.Found it vibrant & exciting. The movie didn't use over-the-top graphics and they still look credible today (considering this movie was made in 1991). I became a fan of WinImages Morph after watching this movie.
- DirectorJonathan MostowStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerNick StahlKristanna LokenA machine from a post-apocalyptic future travels back in time to protect a man and a woman from an advanced robotic assassin to ensure they both survive a nuclear attack.Skynet time travels sexy robots now? Is Skynet a fat man with a boner? I guess Arny needed some cash for his California political campaign, so they made Terminator 3 to help out... Epic FAIL!
- DirectorMizuho NishikuboMamoru OshiiStarsAtsuko TanakaIemasa KayumiAkio ÔtsukaA cyborg policewoman and her partner hunt a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master.Superb Manga and deep! A must-see animated movie about humanoids and cops with implanted robotic parts.
- DirectorMcGStarsChristian BaleSam WorthingtonAnton YelchinIn 2018, a mysterious new weapon in the war against the machines, half-human and half-machine, comes to John Connor on the eve of a resistance attack on Skynet. But whose side is he on, and can he be trusted?Terminator 4 with the guy who shouted "I'm Batman." Oh well, Like 50% : Dislike 50%
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenDan O'HerlihyIn a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.It's really old and decrepit but loved that movie!
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenBelinda BauerRoboCop returns to protect the citizens of old Detroit but faces a deadly challenge when a rogue OCP member secretly creates a new, evil RoboCop 2.Law of sequels i guess... terrible movie but still involving a half-human robot!
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHaley Joel OsmentJude LawFrances O'ConnorA highly advanced robotic boy longs to become "real" so that he can regain the love of his human mother.We get it Spielberg, you had a traumatic childhood, no need to make soppy movies to compensate.
- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsRobin WilliamsEmbeth DavidtzSam NeillAn android endeavors to become human as he gradually acquires emotions.One name: Robin Williams! P.s. Get your box of tissues ready, this movie will make you cry!
- DirectorAlex ProyasStarsWill SmithBridget MoynahanBruce GreenwoodIn 2035, a technophobic cop investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which leads to a larger threat to humanity.Will Smith on a career of self-obsession. The only plus side for me were those three Laws of Robotics (I wasn't aware of them at the time). The CGI robots look pretty fake and this movie is a watch it once and never again.
- DirectorRob CohenStarsJosh LucasJessica BielJamie FoxxDeeply ensconced in a top-secret military program, three pilots struggle to bring an artificial intelligence program under control before it initiates the next world war.The flight A.I of a cheesy top secret US plastic aircraft goes mental and tries to bomb enemy targets without seeking authorisation. Beyond that, it's quite a shallow movie, much like Tomb Raider. The flight scenes and thrills don't even come close to those of the ageing Top Gun movie.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelAn ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager.I had great expectation and they were half met. The screen is pretty busy, lots of moving parts and pretty confusing. What's the focus Michael Bay? It gave my retired dad a headache and i so wanted to watch the full movie with him.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelSam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.Law of sequels is... epic FAIL.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufRosie Huntington-WhiteleyTyrese GibsonThe Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.The idiotic saga continues...
- DirectorMichael BayStarsMark WahlbergNicola Peltz BeckhamJack ReynorWhen humanity allies with a bounty hunter in pursuit of Optimus Prime, the Autobots turn to a mechanic and his family for help.They found more money to keep the saga alive...
- DirectorJohn BadhamStarsAlly SheedySteve GuttenbergFisher StevensNumber 5 of a group of experimental robots in a lab is electrocuted, suddenly becomes intelligent, and escapes.Won't be to everyone's taste. Maybe watch it alone and never mention it. OOoops...
- DirectorAndrew StantonStarsBen BurttElissa KnightJeff GarlinIn the distant future, a small waste-collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.Loved this 3D cartoon movie. Whilst watching it, I kept thinking that it was the story of a butch male Windows PC falling in love with a clean and efficient female Mac. What am I saying, so wrong... I usually don't like 3D cartoons or whatever but you hardly notice it and the storyline makes this movie a keeper.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.Not sure if it belongs in this list as it deals with a man in a robotic suit, but there's a lot Tony Stark wouldn't be able to do without his A.I partner, Jarvis (voice by Paul Bettany).
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Mickey RourkeGwyneth PaltrowWith the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.Man in a robot suit fights another man in a suit and his army of robots. Yawn...
- DirectorShane BlackStarsRobert Downey Jr.Guy PearceGwyneth PaltrowWhen Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.I won't list "Avengers Assemble" which required the help of Iron Man (something to do with fighting aliens dropping from a blackhole over New York. What a bore...). Anyway here's the plot: Man in robot suit fights mutant men who have the power to light their bodies like a bread toaster. I fast forwarded the last fight scene (that's how interesting I generally find such incomprehensible orgiastic fight scenes).
- DirectorShawn LevyStarsHugh JackmanEvangeline LillyDakota GoyoIn the near future, robot boxing is a top sport. A struggling ex-boxer feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot.A horribly predictable movie which I now believe is more suitable for kids. However if you want a sneak peek at the future of robot fight, then this is it!
- DirectorJake SchreierStarsPeter SarsgaardFrank LangellaSusan SarandonIn the near future, an ex-jewel thief receives a gift from his son: a robot butler programmed to look after him. But soon the two companions try their luck as a heist team.I watched this movie on a long haul flight out of the UK. It's very light and fun but the melodic soundtrack made me fall asleep so I only have a vague recollection of what happened. I remember the old man's anger when forced to accept the robot as a carer. Eventually he grows quite fond of him and turns him into his new partner in crime!
- DirectorJosé PadilhaStarsJoel KinnamanGary OldmanMichael KeatonIn 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy, a loving husband, father and good cop, is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.Now that was a nice surprise. I'm a fan of the old but am definitely a fan of the new, and this new is (in my opinion) what the old wasn't and couldn't be due to lack of progress in CGI methods and technical consultants in this field of robotics. The 2014 Robocop is a meatier in the sense that it answers a lot of the questions that were glossed over in the old 1987 version. I found it very interesting, felt like I was learning a thing or two. I loved the story and graphics, there was nothing out of place or over the top. It's rare but this is a modern take that didn't suck. Lucas and Spielberg could learn a lot from this.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsIdris ElbaCharlie HunnamRinko KikuchiAs a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse.Some stupidly big robots, piloted by two humans, fight giant lobsters from another dimension. I guess this is a kid's movie.
- DirectorGabe IbáñezStarsAntonio BanderasBirgitte Hjort SørensenDylan McDermottHuman race is at edge of the end. Robot race is at edge of the beginning.Not seen it yet.
- DirectorBrian A. MillerStarsThomas JaneBruce WillisAmbyr ChildersBruce Willis stars in this Sci-Fi thriller about ultimate resort: VICE, where customers can play out their wildest fantasies with artificial inhabitants who look like humans.Oh lord, not a really good movie, involves life-like female robots who are abused by paying customers, until one of the robots grows an ability to recall... stick to Surrogates.
- DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsSharlto CopleyDev PatelHugh JackmanIn the near future, crime is patrolled by a mechanized police force. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.It made me cringe a lot... An A.I. developer (the Slumdog kid) creates a true self-learning A.I and ignores his boss' orders by uploading the code in a police-bot that was destined for dis-assembly. Sadly his experiment takes a wrong turn when his self-learning baby robot and him are kidnapped by 3 rogue truants (with thick South-African accent). I didn't get to see many black South-Africans in this movie despite it being filmed in Johannesburg. Why?? The ending about transferring consciousness was an original one.
- DirectorAlan TaylorStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerJason ClarkeEmilia ClarkeWhen John Connor, leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline.Not seen it yet.
- StarsKatherine ParkinsonGemma ChanLucy CarlessIn a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a 'Synth'--a highly-developed robotic servant that's so similar to a real human--is transforming the way we live.It's ok, nothing to write home about. There's a British feel to this story which is weird because I thought Brits naturally stayed away from making Scifi, unless it's to do with bins-on-wheels alien-robots which talk through a trumpet. I never got into the old Dr Who and won't be getting into the new version.
Humans depicts a society that accept roboto/humanoid helpers. However the inventor of these synthetics created a few that are unique in their programming. - DirectorSteven GomezStarsThure LindhardtVanessa KirbyDavid AjalaSet in a near future, technology-reliant society that pits man against killing machines.
- DirectorChristopher McQuarrieStarsTom CruiseHayley AtwellVing RhamesEthan Hunt and his IMF team must track down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands.
