Critics Sentiment
Rodney befriends Fender and the group of outmoded robots
Rodney confronts Ratchet at the Bigweld Ball after learning Bigweld won't attend
The film peaks when Robin Williams' Fender character is introduced, then drops significantly during the predictable confrontation at the Bigweld Ball.
Robots starts strong with impressive visuals and world-building, particularly the transportation sequences that reviewers consistently praised. The film maintains decent momentum through Robin Williams' engaging performance as Fender, but suffers from predictable plotting and underdeveloped characters in the middle act before recovering somewhat for a visually impressive but formulaic finale.
