This is my first IMDB review, I had to wrote it because I saw so many negative reviews here. Please don't judge it if you don't understand, and please forgive my poor English as I'm not a native speaker.
Why toys? "Metalhead" is all about artificial intelligence. The ironic point is why human beings had to create a "species" which is far more smarter than them. Lot of scienceists had warned us nowadays when AI is smart enough to become self-develop, we may lost control of them and they may not need to rely on us anymore. Perhaps they can rule us or even kill us in the future. Another most ironic part is, why toys? Why we need to create a toy which is so smart, a teddy bear can also comfort a dying children. It is ironically enough if one day we really killed by a "toy" which were made by our own hands.
How can humans win? The pigs and equality speech at the opening already told you what will happen if you are not a better or smarter species, and what will happen if you are not on the top of food chain. That's why the robot-dog is capable to set a trap and waiting to kill you in the warehouse. When you still need to search a code to start a car and try so hard to grab a key to open a door, the robot-dog can do it in a second. Even when it comes to the end of life, the robot-dog can still tell his friends to hunt you down, but the only thing Bella can do is suicide to protect her own kind. Humans are no chance to win for sure, except one thing, our mind. Bella can waste the robot-dog's energy by not letting him to fall in energy saving / sleep mode, but Bella can still run away even she didn't have enough rest time on the tree. If humans could win in only one department, I think it is survival willpower.
Why black and white? I always love to guess why the director had to present it in a black and white style. My best guess is, this old fashion way of presentation can also entertain you, why we need a colour tv? The same as a old fashion kind of toy (teddy bear) can also make childrens happy, why we need a smart robot-dog? And that's why Bella still love to eat that old fashion kind candy. We all miss old things sometimes, doesn't we?
Why no background story? Lot of reviews here complaint "lack of exposition", "no dialogs" and "no context". Not to mention it is not Black Mirror's style, but I will ask a question if I am the writer: "If you humans are so smart to create an even smarter toy, why you still needs exposition / dialogs / context?" Humans can create an even smarter species but cannot understand this episode? and moreover they complaints about it? what an ironic joke...
If you have a better thoughts about this episode, I'm more than welcome to hear it. But if you are that smart, please do tell me you are a human, but not AI...lol
