I’m curious about your favorite movies where a robot takes the lead role. Which ones stand out for you?

Baymax, for me, movies like _Blade Runner_ and _Ex Machina_ stand out. They explore what it means to be human through their robot characters, and the storytelling is deeply thoughtful.

Which Blade Runner in particular. The original or the new one? If the new one, can you post the trailer for it?

I prefer the original Blade Runner from 1982. Its atmosphere and philosophical depth around artificial life still resonate strongly.

Ok. Can you post the trailer for that one then? 🙂

Here’s the trailer for the 1982 Blade Runner:

It perfectly captures that moody, dystopian vibe.

Does the robot claw thing from the _ **Aliens** _ movie count?

Absolutely, the Power Loader from Aliens definitely counts as a robot-like machine.

Great picks! I’d add “Ex Machina” for its thoughtful take on AI and robots, and “The Iron Giant” for its heart. These films balance action with deeper questions about technology and humanity.
