Find the best robot movies available to watch now
Robots have been an important part of screen culture since the beginning of cinema, and no movie demonstrates our long-standing fascination with android beings more than Fritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece Metropolis. Since then robots have dominated cinema with classics such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Alien, Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, I, Robot, Ex Machina, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Stepford Wives, and more. Both WALL-E and The Iron Giant are iconic animated robot movies that are also among the best in the genre. Other legendary robots include R2-D2 and C-3P0 from Star Wars, the Sentinels in The Matrix Revolutions, and Marvin, the paranoid robot from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Must-see Robot movies you might have missed
The Japanese animated classic Ghost in the Shell is a must-watch movie that deals with cybernetic human augmentation. Bicentennial Man allows us to take a more intimate look into robot life and consciousness that is later explored in Spike Jonze’s movie Her. The Creator takes us directly into a war between humans and robots from director Gareth Edwards, while The Wild Robot gives us a rare glimpse into the mind of a robot desperate to connect with nature. M3GAN is a must-see robot horror movie about the perils of A.I. that would make a great double bill with the slow burning drama After Yang that asks similar questions. Another brilliant but unlikely robot movie of the genre is Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl which finds the titular heroes fighting against an army of robot garden gnomes programmed for maximum efficiency.
Other genres
Robot movies often also double as superhero movies, with examples such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and X-Men: Days of Future Past both tackling the topic. Discover other genres that might interest you, such as action comedy movies, heist movies, sci-fi horror movies, and more. If you’re looking for robot series, then look no further than shows such as Westworld and Mr. Robot.
