In my personal opinion, I found myself really enjoying this film! I do know it was adapted, but I just want to focus on the film (coming from a non professional), as I feel like nobody is giving it the chance I think it really deserves.
First off, one of my favourite parts is the little retro-style cartoon bits of kid cosmo we see, did get me feeling nostalgic.
I also am seriously in love with the design of the robots- i think my top favourites are herm and penny, major props to the character designer's on that, I like how they genuinely feel nineties themed and not all polished and modern, it's a nice refreshing change in my opinion since a lot of sci fi robot films have very polished looking robots, so this was a nice pallete cleanser.
The cgi was done very well in my opinion, the robots felt integrated into the world well and felt like the human chars were actually interacting with them. I did find the plot a little predictable sometimes, sometimes the characters felt a bit bland but
(Spoiler)
The fact the michelle was able to let her brother go was...I don't know how to describe it, but it made sense. Imagine having your brain turned into whats basically a living VR server, and your body cannot survive even if you were released- that's just horrific, I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, and I was honestly expecting they would save chris and all would be fine and merry, so this genuinely succeeded my expectations.
I do have my gripes after all, but this was a solid watch and I think it deserves a chance.
