Critics Consensus

Although its four stories vary in quality, Robot Stories is still worth a look for Twilight Zone fans.

Quatro histórias de robôs integrados ao dia a dia banal das pessoas. A primeira história é a mais impactante: uma mulher precisa aprender a cuidar de um robô bebê para receber um bebê de verdade se provar sua capacidade.

4 short films about the relationships between humans and robots. No end of the world stuff here. Charming at times. Has influences from the novel iRobot but still very much it's own thing. Largely an Asian cast which is cool to see. Nothing groundbreaking but does has its moments.

I like stories about robots. That being said, that isn't a story about robots. It's four stories about robots. This makes it seem more like watching a marathon of a television show than a movie. One story I liked "Machine Love", one story I didn't like "The Robot Fixer" and the other two were average.

4 different stories, 1 movie. I only liked 2 but the concepts of all are interesting and all of them are well acted.

Geoff Pevere

Toronto Star

Although uneven and tentative, Robot Stories is sufficiently thoughtful, provocative and original to make you wonder what Greg Pak might do with access to better parts.

Rated: 2/5

Seattle Times

Robot Stories has the look and feel of an above-average student film, but Pak's potential promises better things to come.

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Robot Stories is both heartfelt and entertaining. I found it to be one of the most human and humane science fiction films I've seen in a long time.
