Incredibly tedious, boring and obtuse giant robot mystery. Too many characters to keep track of some of whom are introduced way late in the movie. It really chose the least interesting and least accessible way to explore the subject matter. For being about malfunctioning giant robots going berserk, the action is very sparse and anticlimactic.
